Assuming you mean a DNS domain, you need to have your server IP/hostname registered in the DNS servers managing the domain you want.

Please follow the below steps:

Code:
#cp /etc/nsswitch.nis /etc/nsswitch.conf
#domainname   xx.xx.org
#vi /etc/defaultdomain
xx.xx.org

and save the file

#/usr/lib/netsvcs/yp/ypstart
#cd /var/yp
#/usr/sbin/ypinit -c
give the master server name

If there is any problem, write the output.

Thanks,
Deepak

one way is to capture the existing config. do sys-unconfig. after the system reboots, it will bring you through the "installation" process where it asks you the ip, netmask, services, domain etc. you can specify it then.
If im not wrong, you're asking how to join a domain right?
or you can do this method:-
cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain xx.xx.org
nameserver 192.168.2.1
search sspg.central.sun.com central.sun.com

Now, set up /etc/nsswitch.conf so that hosts are resolved via DNS. You can modify you existing/etc/nsswitch.conf file or just copy /etc/nsswitch.dns to /etc/nsswitch.conf.
