Question 1 of 6
You are the network administrator for westsim.com . The network consists of a single Active Directory
domain. All the servers run Windows Server 2012 R2. All the clients run Windows 8.
A user named Mary Merone is working on location in Africa . She calls to report that her laptop has failed . The
hardware vendor replaced the laptop and now you need to join the new computer to the domain. However,
there is no connectivity from the current location to the domain . You must ensure that the laptop is joined to
the domain immediately even if it cannot be physically connected to a domain controller.
What should you do first?
0 Create a computer account using Active Directory Users and Computers. Then have the user run the
Netsh command from an elevated command prompt.
0 Prepare the computer to perform an offline domain join using the Djoin /RequestODJ command.
@ Prepare the computer to perform an offline domain join by creating an Active Directory account for the
computer using the Djoin /provision command.
0 Prepare the computer to perform an offline domain join by creating a computer account using Active
Directory Users and Computers.
Explanation
You should prepare the computer to perform an offline domain join by creating an Active Directory account for the
computer using the Djoin /provision command.
Since the computer cannot be connected to the Active Directory domain, you must perform an offline domain join. To
perform an offline domain join use the following steps:
##MARGINS= 16,8,0,0##1. Use the djoin /provision /domain /machine /savefile .txt command to create an Active
Directory account for the computer. This command must be run from an elevated command prompt on a computer that
current has access to the domain.
##MARGINS= 16,0,0,0##2. Copy the .txt file to the computer that will be joining the domain offline.
##MARGINS= 16,0,0,0##3. Run the djoin /requestODJ /loadfile .txt /windowspath %System Root% /localos command
on the computer being joined to the domain. This command must be run from an elevated command prompt.
##MARGINS= 16,0,0,0##4. Reboot the computer joining the domain. After the computer reboots, it will be joined to the
domain.
You must create the computer account using the Djoin command. You cannot use Active Directory Users and Computers
to create the computer account because you need to export the information to the .txt file that will be copied to the new
machine. Active Directory Users and Computers can be used to pre-stage computer accounts for computers who will be
joined to the domain by contacting a domain controller at the time they are joined.
The Djoin /RequestODJ command is used at the computer joining the domain to complete the offline domain join.
However, this is not the first step in the process. You would not use the Netsh command to join the domain. Netsh is
used to configure networking components from the command line including TCP/1Pv4, TCP/1Pv6, and the Windows
Firewall.
