objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server\HP"
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server\Kyocera"
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter ("\\server\Kyocera")

I would try using Cscript instead of Wscript. Cscript is more suitable for CLI scripting.

On a side not, I found that Windows 7 has great Group Policies for mapping drives.

I would have the logon script launch from a batch file. after calling the script with cscript, add a Pause command so the window will stay visible and you can see any output it has generated.

Additionally, I'm with SerhiyKo, if all your doing is mapping drives and printer(s) based on security groups, group preferences are a much easier option.

We've just rolled out Windows 7 on our domain and have moved from batch and vb logon scripts, to GP drive mapping etc. It's much easier to manage and assign drives etc. based on many different criteria for the user and/or the workstation.
