net |
certain aspects of network connectivity and security.
Syntax
net [option]
Options
net.exe must be used with one of the following
services to give it a specific focus:
- accounts

Adds or removes computer accounts from the domain- config
Displays whether Server and Workstation Services are running and
configures these services- continue
Continues paused services- file

Because these options are independent of one another and
can't be combined in a single command, you can think
of them as a family of net commands instead of a
single command with distinct options. The individual members of this
family are considered in detail in the following entries.
Notes
- To see the syntax of a net command from the
command line, type net help followed by the
option that defines the command. For example, to see the syntax for
net accounts, type
net help accounts. - All net commands also accept the following options:
- /y
Automatically answers yes to any prompt generated by the command
(useful in batch files)- /n
