Type:

domain is the domain you want to join and machine is the name of the client you want to join.

– Copy the file domain.txt to the client computer

On the client computer, open a command prompt as Administrator and type:

djoin /requestODJ /loadfile domain.txt /windowspath %systemroot% /localos

Reboot and You are all Set to go.
