The standard way of dealing with that is to use an automounter and
have it read its automount maps from NIS, which lets you control all
desktops' mountpoints from a single location. The O'Reilly on NFS
and NIS has a chapter on setting this up and it seems to be widely
used in larger environments, although I can't say that I've yet had a
reason to try it myself.
