What we call a Domain Server is a machine that is like a complicated traffic control centre. When a computer joins a network is needs an address. The Domain Server either has an address for it or creates an address for it. The address is important as that computer needs to introduce itself to other computers and the Server needs to know who is connected and who is not.
