What is the final step when adding a computer to the domain?

When adding a computer to a domain, the final step of the process is to restart the machine. This is necessary because after the computer is successfully joined to the domain, the new settings and policies that apply to the domain will not take effect until the system is rebooted. Restarting ensures that all domain-related configurations, such as user permissions and security policies, are correctly applied and that the computer can fully integrate and interact with the domain environment.

The other steps mentioned, like configuring user settings, installing applications, and updating network drivers, are important aspects of setting up a workstation but typically happen either before or during the addition of the computer to the domain rather than as the final step. These tasks support the overall functionality and performance of the workstation, while the restart is essential to finalize the domain join process and ensure seamless operation within the network domain structure.
