Join Domain

To join a Windows Domain use the following command

netdom join <ComputerName> /domain:<DomainName> /userd:<UserName> /passwordd:*

Where

• ComputerName is the name of the server that is running the Server Core installation.
• DomainName is the name of the domain to join.
• UserName is a domain user account with permission to join the domain.

NOTE: The double d in /passwordd is correct.

NOTE: When issuing the above command I noticed that immediately after it lost network connection so the command should be run from the server and not from a remote connection.

NOTE: The firewall enabled itself after this command was run. This may explain the note above.
