I am running an Active Directory domain with mainly Windows 2000 clients but considering a limited Windows XP upgrade. Thanks.

if you have the users setup in groups within your active directory you can assign the authorised users etc of any object or container within active directiory.
This goes for printers also if you have chosen to publish them in the active directory.
