NET commands are a powerful tool in Windows NT. Although it must be executed in command line mode, its functions do cover most important management functions in Windows NT. For example, it can manage the network environment, the operation and configuration of various service programs, user and login management, etc. It can also view a lot of local information about the server. NET commands are also included in Windows 98, but they are much less functional than in NT.
You can obtain help information for NET commands through the following two methods:Copyright
(1) Under NT, you can use the graphical method, go through the Start menu > Help > Index, and then enter NET.
(2) You can also enter NET /? or NET or NET HELP in the command line to get its function (COMMAND) list, and then get help information for the corresponding function through the NET COMMAND/HELP or NET HELP COMMAND or NET COMMAND/? command.
When using NET commands, it is important to note that some of its commands will be effective immediately and permanently saved, so be careful when using them.
