I can't seem to find this anywhere, perhaps I'm just blind and it's spelled out perfectly well elsewhere, but I can't seem to find anything about undead being implicitly immune to mind affecting. Mindless sure, I think that's specified somewhere, but not sentient undead. Can I cast command on vampires?
Also I'm sorry if this is the wrong section for this I didn't put it in the spell section, because really it's a question about immunites in general and undead immunities in specific rather than about command.
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure this is an intentional omission, since undead creatures being immune to mind affecting as a class brought weird and unthematic rulings with regards to intelligent undead. The whole point of mind affecting is that it works on anything with a mind, so only mindless creatures should really be immune by default.
In other words, yes, you should be able to use command, dominate, etc. on vampires, liches, or any other non-mindless undead.
