Moving EV Servers between Domains

I have a site which has 2 EV Servers (plus the associated SQL server) in 1 AD Domain, and require to move these into another AD Domain as the current domain is being decomissioned.  EV is being used for Journal and mailbox archiving for an Exchange DAG environment.

The Exchange enviroment being archived is already in the new domain along with most of the other application servers.

What is the best practice for moving the EV environment between domains ?  Is it simply a case of stopping all EV services and detaching from the current domain and joining the new domain for both EV servers and the SQL server then restarting services ?  Obviously any service accounts being used for services and VSA must also be in the new domain - but are there any other considerations / implications ?

Thanks,

AJ
