Where is DCDiag on Windows 2008

I have a new Windows 2008 server that I have joined to a 2003 Domain. I
have the Windows 2008 server running as a DC.

I am having a communication issue every 2-10 days and I would like to
troubleshoot the issue with DCDiag and NETDIAG. When I go to run either of
these tools they are not found. I have looked for them on the server, CD,
and Internet and cannot seem to find anything.

Are there windows 2008 tools similar to the Windows 2003 tools and if so,
where can I find them? Can I use the Windows 2003 Tools?

Thank You

Hello Corey,

Dcdiag is included in windows server 2008 as replmon also and some other
tools, no additional installation required. Netdiag use from 2003, just copy
the netdiag.exe to the 2008 DC and it works like a charm.

Best regards
