Can Windows 8.1 RT join a domain

Question

Can Windows 8.1 RT join an Active Directory 2012 domain? I've been looking around and I'm having a hard time determining if they are talking about 8.1 or 8.1 RT but its very unclear.

Answer 1

No, according to the FAQ for Windows 8.1 RT, under the question "What's the difference between Windows 8.1 RT and Windows 8.1?":

Some features aren't included in Windows RT 8.1:

• Windows Media Player

• Windows Media Center

• HomeGroup creation (you can join an existing HomeGroup but you can't create a new one)

• The ability to connect to your Windows RT 8.1 PC from another PC using Remote Desktop

• Domain join

Answer 2

The Windows RT FAQ clearly states that joining a domain is not available in Windows RT 8.1.
