How to Join a Server Running Server Core to a Domain

You've installed Server Core and think it's time to join that new server to your domain. Since you can't right click on My Computer any more you'll have to learn how to do it the Server Core way.

  • From the command prompt type the following with:

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

A couple things to note here:

  • Depending on how you have configured your DNS settings you may have to put the FQDN in for the DomainName
  • Yes, /passwordd:* needs to have that second d at the end of it.
