Add workstations to domain while off network

If an reseller needs to image workstations and add them
to a domain before they are delivered to the client, is
there a published procedure for taking a DC offline and
taking it to the reseller's site in order to add those
machines?

This is thousands of machines which will be added
automatically after sysprep/altiris but they need a DC
present.

Thanks!

Agree with Deji. Just to add one more thing. You can use answer files with
sysprep, which states if machine joins domain during automatic deployment.
Why do you need to take DC to resellers site ?

It's not my machines ;-)but basically the client wants
the machines delivered ready to go, tested etc.

If they don't bring them up from the sysprep till they
get on site, then they still have to make sure each one
has joined correctly and is working ok.

Or at least that's my understanding.

I'll pass along the advice.

thanks
