Join a computer to a domain
I am using the Wizard to add the computer (the Wizard can be executed in PowerShell with: SystemPropertiesComputerName.exe). Once you click Network ID, then select 'This computer is part of a business network...', then 'My company uses a network
with a domain', and after doing next in the following screen, there is a prompt to enter a user name, password and domain name.
I don't see the use for this prompt. You can even enter a domain that doesn't even exist in your structure and the Wizard accepts it.
The following screens I have no trouble with, we are prompted for the computer name and computer domain (the domain in which we want to add the computer in), we are then prompted to provide the crendentials (username/password/domain)
that have the necessary rights in AD to create a new computer account in the domain we just specified.
What is the use of the 1st set of credentials?
Thanks!
