You can use a domain participation tool to add your target system to a network domain. Netdom.exe is a tool that joins a computer to a domain through a command-line interface

You can also use the NetJoinDomain function to create a customized application for adding your target system to a domain. This function is part of the standard Win32 API.

The following example shows how to use the NetJoinDomain function.

dwError = NetJoinDomain( *szComputerName ? szComputerName : NULL,
                         szDomain,
                         NULL,
                         szUser,
                         szPassword,
                         dwFlags );
if( dwError != NERR_Success )
{
  //handle error
}
else
{
  //success
}
