It's a commercial software. Anything else?

It's worth noting that Ross Tulloch (the maker of BlueHarvest) offers a free version called BlueHarvest Lite. It is limited that you have to select and enable the feature for each new removable drive, but once set, it will keep that drive free of the junk. You can find it in the Mac App Store, however I'm not sure if it will work for network drives. You can give it a try.

It should be noted this solution does not really prevent a Mac from creating ._ files as OP asked. It simply removes the ._ files when you eject the drive. To me, it means "adding insult to injury".

Looks like the Lite version is no longer available. The download link just takes you to the paid App Store version.
