Windows 7 / Getting Started

Offline Domain Join

Since Windows NT4, client machines have been able to join Windows domains as long as a direct connection to the domain controller was present. With Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, there is now a way to join an offline client to a domain.
A new program called djoin.exe has been introduced to perform this task.
Like previous versions of Windows, joining a domain is only available on Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions.
