Question : Join XP clients to new domain using NETDOM

Scenario:
Win 2003 Standard SP1 domain
Windows XP Pro clients


The 2k3 domain is a new domain, the clients are joined to an old NT4 domain.

Planning to script the client-joining to the new domain using netdom.exe from the support tools.

Also aware of the use of usmt to copy the client profiles from the old domain to the new, but at first I want to create a basic script that simply joins the computers to the new domain.

Anyone done this before?
VBscript is the most handy tool for the job?
