To join a 2008 core server to a domain run the following command:
netdom join W2K8DC04 /domain:home.local /userd:yourusernamehere /passwordd:yourpasswordhere
netdom join W2K8DC04 /domain:home.local /userd:yourusernamehere /passwordd:yourpasswordhere
Note: the account must have the correct priviledges to add a machine to the domain, also passwordd isn't a typo - and because this is the command prompt your password isn't hashed *******so make sure no one is looking over your shoulder ;-)
Update: you can just enter a single * and it will then prompt for a password that is hashed.
Once the server has rebooted you can verify this by running:
netdom verify w2k8dc04
