NETDIAG.EXE Entry Point Not Found

[Foamfollower]

When NETDIAG.EXE is run on a Windows XP Professional device with SP1a installed it consistently returns the error “NETDIAG.EXE – Entry Point Not Found” dialog box. The error being “The procedure entry point DnsGetPrimaryDomainName_UTF8 could not be located in the dynamic link library DNSAPI.dll”
I have replaced the dll with one from a working device, and re-installed SP1a with no success. Has anyone else had this problem and come up with a solution?

Thanks, Foamfollower

You need to make sure that the version releases of netdiag.exe and DNSAPI.DLL are identical.

If using the Windows 2003 Support tools:
DNSAPI.dll version is 5.2.3790 0
Version for the NetDiag.exe should be the same.

Windows 2000 Support tool: NetDiag.exe comes with version 5.0.2185. This exe does not work with DNSAPI.DLL version 5.2.3790.

XP CD under \Support\Tools is another source for netdiag.exe.

You need to match netdiag.exe with the same numbered version of DNSAPI.DLL
