Windows 7 is Missing NETDOM.EXE

http://iboyd.net/index.php/2009/10/23/windows-7-is-missing-netdom-exe/

1. Install the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).
2. Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off
3. In the treeview, go to Remote Server Administration Tools -> Role Administration Tools -> AD DS and AD LDS Tools and select AD DS Tools. Click OK.

NETDOM should be located in your SYSTEM32 folder.

You will then have a “c:\windows\system32\netdom.exe” that supports the ‘older’ Netdom syntax.

HOWEVER, IF YOU MOVE THE ‘NETDOM.EXE” FROM THE ‘SYSTEM32′ SUB-DIR IT WILL NOT WORK???!!

IT WILL JUST ‘EXIT’ UPON EXECUTION??

BUT , if you WANT to move it, which i did. you have to do ‘something’ EXTRA.

To whatever sub-dir you move the RSAT NETDOM.EXE to :

1) FOR EXAMPLE, create a sub-dir called : %temp%\EN-US

2) COPY /Y “%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\EN-US\NETDOM.EXE.MUI” “%TEMP%\EN-US

Then if you execute NETDOM.EXE from “%TEMP%” you should ‘see’ the familiar ‘help’

messages..

MK Pozn.: Soubor NETDOM.EXE.MUI nebyl v SYSTEM32\EN-US. Nasel jsem ho tady:

c:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-d..ne-netdom.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_en-us_0f73a3cb48e0f5b0\netdom.exe.mui
