Abstract: A customer submits a request to a virtual computer system service to launch a virtual machine instance and to join this instance to a managed directory. The service may obtain, from the customer, a domain name and Internet Protocol addresses for the selected directory, which is then stored within a systems management server. When launched, the instance may initiate an agent, which may communicate with the systems management server to obtain the configuration information. The agent may use this configuration information to establish a communications channel with the managed directory and create a temporary set of computer credentials that may be used to verify that the customer is authorized to join the virtual machine instance to the managed directory. If the credentials are valid, the managed directory may generate a computer account within the managed directory, which may be used to join the virtual machine instance to the managed directory.
