This post will show you how to join member server to domain and place it to specific organizational unit (OU) using command line. Lets say we have server named “Testserver” and it must be joined to domain testdomain.com. Also we want to place it in OU named “servers”. To do it open command line on your Windows server 2003 and type:
netdom add /d:testdomain.com testserver /OU:OU=servers,DC=testdomain,DC=com
Note that netdom is part of Windows server 2003 support tools. They can be found on your OS CD (Support\Tools directory) .
