Howdy @akdasari, this was not updated in the readme, but the joining of computers to the domain should be handled by the Chef resource https://docs.chef.io/resources/windows_ad_join/ as it made no sense to continue supporting multiple resources with the same intent.

Please try using that resource and see if you have success. This cookbook is primarily for creating Active Directory and its management.

I’ll push and update to correct the error though as I can see how it leads to confusion.
