+# Description
+
+The xADComputer DSC resource will manage computer accounts within Active Directory.
+This resource can be used to provision a computer account before the computer is
+added to the domain. These pre-created computer objects can be used with offline
+domain join, unsecure domain Join and RODC domain join scenarios.
+
+>**Note:** An Offline Domain Join (ODJ) request file will only be created
+>when a computer account is first created in the domain. Setting an Offline
+>Domain Join (ODJ) Request file path for a configuration that updates a
+>computer account that already exists, or restore it from the recycle bin
+>will not cause the Offline Domain Join (ODJ) request file to be created.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Target machine must be running Windows Server 2008 R2 or later.
