XP: change hostname from command line

[remcovanuitert]

Hi,
I want to be able to change the hostname of an XP pc through the command line.
I have searched the internet, but I cannot find anything besides netset.exe, which was included in the Win2000 Resource Kit (but it's not in the XP resource kit!?).

I found out that over 30 registry entries change when you change the hostname, so doing it via reg.exe is not really an option since I don't think it would be very reliable...

Thanks in advance for any tips,
Regards,
Remco
