BTW
Connecting to the domain from your user account on the
domain doesn't not necessary require "logon onto the machine
with a domain account."
net use * \\server\share * /user:DomainName\UserName
(You may substitute ServerName for DomainName if you have
an account on the server itself instead.)
For you actual question:
Logon to it as the MACHINE Admin, use the system
control panel to join the machine to the domain. If the
computer account doesn't exist yet, you must either have
an Admin etc. create it on the domain OR you must have
domain admin credentials to use (type in) during the
addition from the machine.
After successfully adding the computer, use it's Computer
Manger (etc) to add your Domain account to the local
computer Administrators group etc.
