As many blogs have stated there is a a quick way to map network drives within PowerShell; create a Wscript.Network object and use the MapNetworkDrive method. Example:
(New-Object -Com WScript.Network).MapNetworkDrive("u:",\\computer\share)
Now, that is great to run localy, but New-Object does not connect to a remote computer. So, with PoSh 2.0 and Remoting, we now can create remote sessions and run the command as though it was local to the remote computer.
CODE
$session = new-pssession -ComputerName computer1
invoke-command -session $session -scriptblock {(New-Object -Com WScript.Network).MapNetworkDrive("u:",\\computer\share)}
invoke-command -session $session -scriptblock {(New-Object -Com WScript.Network).MapNetworkDrive("u:",\\computer\share)}
EXPLANATION
When this is run a new session will open on the remote computer and keep it open as a local object to be called later. invoke-command will use this session and run the scriptblock necessary to map the network drive
