Adding A Printer via Script

I work for a company, and we are doing remodeling so I have to shift alot of user to different printers for the time of the remodel.
We are in a domain environment, and I already have the script (e.g ADDXeroxPrinter.vbs), where do I put this so that this script can run once to ONLY the people I want?
In Active Directory under PROFILE and in LOGON SCRIPT they are already running a bat file (e.g. Engineering.bat) which adjust their time andd maps drives... how can I impliment mines to add a printer as well?

Create a new OU (temporary for the remodel). Move the user objects you want into that OU, and assign the script. If your mappings are defined as persistent in the batch file, then the pc's will remember the connections. If not, just modify your vbscript to do the the same thing as your batch file in addition to what it already does. Don't worry about the users adding the printer connection more than once. It won't affect logon time that much. Make sure to include an ON ERROR RESUME NEXT statement in your vbscript. BTW, why are you adjusting time via a script? In a domain, clients normally get their time from the authenticating dc.
