under the ntdsutil command

This command should be described in greater detail, because it can be used to
do more than what is explained in the book. When I type ntdsutil /? on the
command prompt, I get the following information:

"NtdsUtil performs database maintenance of the Active Directory store,
management and control of the Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO),
and cleaning up of metadata left behind by abandoned domain controllers,
those which are removed from the network without being uninstalled."

hi everyone

I have found a mistake in windows2000 command pocket reference.

The command CON2PRT doesn't exist on Windows 2000 and on XP.
This fonction was a part of ZAK (Zero Admnistration Kit) on Windows NT4. With the
apparition
of 2000. They decided to include it in RUNDLL32.EXE .

This is the new command (please respect Upper caracter) :rundll32
printui.dll,PrintUIEntry (options)

You will find all the options by the command rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?

For the examples given in the pocket reference, this is the commands you will have to
write

-installation of a network printer on a local machine (the local machine must be
running XP or 2000)
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\serverprinter
where "server" is the name of the impression server and "printer" the share name of
the printer

-making a default printer
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n "name of the printer on the local machine"

Section Error

You do not cover the rundll32.exe commands for printing. I have been
trying to find a way to utilize this to install printers on W2K Pro
Workstations when they log on. The Microsoft info on this is sketchy at best.

Please expand this section to include the new features. Unless, of course,
you cover that in another book, in which case I probably should order that.

nbtstat definition

The options list is missing the -RR parameter. I consider this a serious
mistake becuse this is a new option. The list should include the following:

-RR
Send name release packets to WINS server then start refresh

The command regsvr32.exe is not listed in the book, and I think it should be
added.

The command repadmin.exe (replication diagnostics tool) is not listed in the
index of commands or in the "Active Directory and Domain Management Commands"
section (where it should be, in my opinion).
