The net command is primarily used to manage network resources. This command supports sub-commands.

If you type net without a sub-command, the output will show the syntax for the root command showing a few of the sub-commands you can use.

For the net command, to display the help manual /? will not work. In this case, you need to use different syntax, which is net help.

So, if you wish to see the help information for net user , the command is net help user.

You can use the same command to view the help information for other useful net sub-commands, such as localgroup, use, share, and session.
