Running netdom from a windows xp/windows 7 machine

Hi guys, I wish to use netdom to join machines to the domain.
I know that netdom is builtin with Windows 2008, but it is not by default on Windows XP or Windows 7.

Question/s:
1) Have you any of you used netdom on a windows xp/windows 7 machine?
2) What file/s do you need to run it from a windows xp/7 machine?

Any help greatly appreciated.

I know this is old but I've recently had to do this on Windows 7 and there's an additional file that is needed.  %systemroot%\system32\en-us\netdom.exe.mui should be copied as well (or whichever language you require).  Otherwise the .exe returns no output.

netdom.exe should be copied from the appropriate bit-level machine i.e. x64 to x64.
