This is behavior is annoying, but what he's suggesting is to change the
Samba config to use passworded security.  Then you'd use the Windows
gpedit.msc to create a login script under "User Configuration", "Windows
Settings", "Scripts (Logon/Logoff)".  Do something like

  net use Z: \\server\share <password> /USER:domainname\lusername

But a better solution would be to use the approach suggested here:

I'd also suggest you consider using Webmin to manage Samba--if not
indefinitely, at least to help you configure it then examine the resultant
config files to see how it does things.

I might also suggest just doing a google before checking here.  This was
the first hit I got when I searched for "Samba security=share deprecated".

No, you don't want to do that.
