Offline Domain Join
Offline domain join is also useful when a computer is deployed in a lab or other disconnected environment. When the computer is connected to the domain network and started for the first time, it will already be a member of the domain. This also helps to ensure that Group Policy settings are applied at the first startup.
Four major steps are required to join a computer to the domain by using offline domain join:
1. Log on to a computer in the domain that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 with an account that has permissions to join computers to the domain.
2. Use the DJoin command to provision a computer for offline domain join. This step prepopulates Active Directory with the information that Active Directory needs to join the computer to the domain, and exports the information called a blob to a text file.
3. At the offline computer that you want to join the domain use DJoin to import the blob into the Windows directory.
4. When you start or restart the computer, it will be a member of the domain.
