Old domain is NT4.0 and new domain is Windows 2003 Active Directory. Anyone ever do this?

I tried your script but it didnt work for me. I'll definitely give the Netdom command a shot.
Some more details:
All workstations are WinXP on an NT 4 domain. I need to move these machines to a new Active Directory Win2003 server domain remotely.

Renamed, joined domain and rebooted. It was beautiful.

Status: offline 		I have found the 'impersonationlevel' method to not work worth a darn...at least thats been my experience. I just shell out to netdom, it always works, plus you can pass variables from vbscript to netdom, although I found it to be a little tricky getting the syntax right.
