utility, which is included with Windows Server and client operating systems. This tool allows you to create a computer account in Active Directory and generate a provisioning package that can be used to join the domain without direct network connectivity. The process involves running djoin.exe
on a domain-joined machine to create the join request, which is then transferred to the target machine where it is executed to complete the offline join.
To join a domain, you go to the Computer Properties and the Identification tab. Tell the system you want to join a domain, then provide the domain you want to join. You will be asked for administrator credentials in order to join the domain from a client.
The System applet in the control panel will allow you to join a system to a domain.
