SBS2008 - Login Script - Mapped Drives

I noticed with SBS2008 RC1 that there doesn't seem to be a login script
anymore. Is the plan now to instead do something through GP? I'd still like
to use login scripts as it is less to manage with small clients. How do I
create a login script and assign it to users in the new SBS Server manager
becasue it doesn't show the user profile (though that is available via AD U&C)

Honestly this is done better with GP. Vista's throw off a UAC with this
mechanism ergo why they dumped it.
