How can I automate zipping and deletion of directories using built-in Windows Server Zip?

Question

I am looking to get some up-to-date advice on how to automate the following process within Windows Server (no 3rd-party utils can be used)..

1. Zip directories (sometimes nested e.g. daily_stuff/hourly_stuff/)
2. Validate the source directory and the zip file have same content
3. Delete the source directory
4. (Optional) - Move the ZIP file to location Y from location X

Systems are Windows Server 2003 (I know I know, they're upgrading soon!) and some Windows Server 2008..

Thanks in advance for your advice
