Installing net.exe command line

I have a windows 2000 server that did not come with net.exe installed

Where do I get net.exe?

Where do I put net.exe so that the path allows the command to work in any folder?

Check your PATH statement in the Enivronment Variable section on the System Properties.  My bet is that C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32  are missing.

Is net.exe in the c:\windows\system32 directory already?

If not, just grab it from another machine.

If so, like netman said.

just type path in the cmd prompt and see if the location is there...
I get some weird errors when executing the command
Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net share
System error 2 has occurred.

The system cannot find the file specified.


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net use
New connections will be remembered.

Hmm...I did see a forum that said someone else got this error and uninstalled and reinstalled some windows updates.

Have you tried reapplying SP4?  (you did say you were running windows 2000, even though this is the 2003 channel)
Im sorry its actually windows 2003
