I do two things, to map printers based on location.
Have printer share names contrived to match clientnames of devices used at
locations (the login script then just uses the clientname as a printer share
name).
Or script that accesses AD, finds the current computer in AD, ascertains
certain fields, that point to another OU, containing printers that go with
machines in that location, and then map them.
Personally I dislike having to hardcode "magic" in login scripts. So the
rationale I've followed, being that if you're using AD, *it* should be the
repository, and the source creating the connecting. The script, ideally
should just access that, rather than actually have data within it.
