 how to Join Domain using djoin -Offline 

Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 introduce a new option for joining computers to a domain, called offline domain join.

 As the name of the feature suggests, offline domain join allows you to join a server or client to the domain even if the computer does not
have network connectivity or cannot currently contact a domain controller.

the syntax of djoin is

djoin.exe /provision /domain DomainDNSName /machine ComputerName /savefile Filename 

Assume my domain name is MYDOMAIN.COM and my client machine name is PC-1 planning to add to domain in offline mode using the following method
On Domain Controller open a command prompt and type the following command

djoin.exe /provision /domain MYDOMAIN.COM /machine PC-1 /savefile test.txt

copy the saved file to client machine and run the following command in client machine (open command prompt as run as administrator)

djoin.exe /requestODJ /loadfile test.txt /windowspath %SystemRoot% /localos

where:

/requestODJ specifies that you want to perform an offline domain join operation.

Filename is the path and file name of the text file that contains the account metadata
blob. This is the file that you created by using Djoin.exe /provision.

%SystemRoot% is the built-in Windows variable that represents the directory in which
Windows is installed. Alternately, you can use the variable %WinDir%.

/localos specifies that you are injecting the domain join information into the local
computer.
