Then you won't be able to join. Domains are an invite-only thing. You
can't come and play if you haven't been asked.

Ask the admins to insert if for you into the domain. There's a reason
it's done this way, so that the admins have a nominal idea of what
machines are on their network, and thus, potentially responsible for.
