I am looking for a way to automatically add all printers with a certain &quot;location&quot; tag published in AD in a login script, so that whenever a new user logs in all the printers for their department are added to their printer list, and I don't have to manually update my script every time a printer is added, removed, renamed, or moved. What's the best way to go about this? Ideally this would be a VBScript or something similar but I am open to commercial suggestions as well.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
