Joining a client to the domain.. without being connected to it?!

A new feature for Server 2008 R2 DCs & Windows 7 clients is Offline Domain Join.

The computer object is created on the DC, stored in meta data, and then sent to the client. Then the client computer can join the domain witht he meta data, even if no active connection to the DC.

To get you started, used the command Djoin.exe /? on the DC.

I have yet to think of a real life situation of when this would be useful... but anyway.. im sure it will come in useful for someone!
