AD itnra-forest Print server method, what is the best qay

[pre-installed]

I have an existing windows production 2000 print server with about 80
queues in AD in one AD domain. We want to decommission that domain
and move the print server to another AD domain in the same forest (and
tree).

The print queues have permissions on them for power users and print
admins, we used ADMT to migrate the users from NT to AD.

What;s the best way to move the print server and not have to remap the
queues or visit every workstation in the process?

Is just rejoining the new AD domain ok(keeping the queue name and
print server name the same)?

Or should I use ADMTver2 for an intra-forest migration of the print
server to avoid issues with permissions on the queues..?

WHat is the best practice for this process?

thanks

My advice is that you use ADMT2.0 for the migration and use a logon script
within a Group Policy such the one below to map printers to your clients.

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\PrintServer1\Xerox300"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter \\PrintServer1\Xerox300
