It is my understanding that is usually not a good idea per KB article
below?? Netdom is usually easy enough to try. --- Steve

Active Directory Users and Computers (DSA)
With Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you can also reset the machine account from
within the graphical user interface (GUI). In the Active Directory Users and
Computers MMC (DSA), you can right-click the computer object in the
Computers or appropriate container and then click Reset Account. This resets
the machine account. Resetting the password for domain controllers using
this method is not allowed. Resetting a computer account breaks that
computer's connection to the domain and requires it to rejoin the domain.

NOTE: This will prevent an established computer from connecting to the
domain and should only be used for a computer that has just been rebuilt
