Windows 2000 Moving user to new domain

I have small regional offices that are configured as separate domains from my
headquarters, all in the same forest, though. I have configured logon scripts
in each of those domains to map network drives. Each of them are, of course,
different. When I move a user from one office to the other, is there any way
to get them to use the logon script besides moving them from one domain to
the other? And is using the ADMT the only way to move the user, besides
deleting and recreating the account in the new domain? Obviously, this is a
problem because it also deletes the email account.
If ADMT if the only or preferred way, what are the specific instructions for
just simply moving a user between domains? I looked at the ADMT user manual
and it seemed mostly to address whole domain migration.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
You might look at the design of your AD. Regional offices can be just a site
within your domain. We have 1 domain here with 50 "regional offices" that
are configured as sites within the 1 AD domain.
Users moving from one office to another would still be logging into the same
domain.

The design of your AD network is creating un-necessary work for you.
