Maintain Runway Heading

When ATC request an aircraft to maintain runway heading after take-off do they expect the pilot to make a correction for wind or are they happy for him to fly the runway heading and drift with the wind. If so how would a controller with no radar know the exact location of the aircraft for separation purposes.
