joinDomain

Adds a file gateway to an Active Directory domain. This operation is only supported for file gateways that support the SMB file protocol.

Joining a domain creates an Active Directory computer account in the default organizational unit, using the gateway's Gateway ID as the account name (for example, SGW-1234ADE). If your Active Directory environment requires that you pre-stage accounts to facilitate the join domain process, you will need to create this account ahead of time.

To create the gateway's computer account in an organizational unit other than the default, you must specify the organizational unit when joining the domain.
