windows 2000 sp4 support pack
I am trying to use the NETDOM utility to change a remote server name.
The server in question is on MS Server 2K with SP4.
C:\>netdom renamecomputer fred2 /NewName:fred1 /ud:galaxy\a074070 /PasswordD:* /Usero:administrator /PasswordO:* /Force /Reboot
The version of Netdom.exe that I have does not accept the "renamecomputer" parameter.
Have been searching to get the correct download but any versions that I get don't seem to be the correct/later version.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Paul

The problem is that I can't find the correct download!
Where is the correct SP4 download image?

Hi rsanghoi,
Thanks for the reply...I'm not in the office now but will see what's different in the morning.
This looks very much like the same code I've downloaded this afternoon. And those were all versions of NETDOM that didn't support the "renamecomputer" method.
And it's the version with "renamecomputer" option that I need.

Back at the office...
The version of NETDOM that is in the SP4SupportTools does support the "/rename" but not the later version syntax i.e.:
netdom renamecomputer fred2 /NewName:fred1 /ud:galaxy\a074070 /PasswordD:* /Usero:administrator /PasswordO:* /Force /Reboot
Will test using the older version.
Let mw know if you have any recommendations.
