1. Proposed title of this feature request

Ability to add windows nodes with active directory while adding instance to RHOCP cluster.

2. What is the nature and description of the request?

We are deploying Windows nodes within our Red Hat OpenShift 4.x environment using the Windows Machine Config Operator (WMCO). Due to enterprise security and compliance policies, all Windows nodes must be joined to an Active Directory (AD) domain.

Currently, while domain-joined nodes operate functionally, there is no official Red Hat documentation or supported configuration guidance regarding the necessary permissions, security policies, or best practices for domain-joined nodes in OpenShift environments.

This gap presents a risk to enterprise compliance and operational stability, as standard Group Policies (GPOs), AD permissions, and domain security configurations may inadvertently impact node or pod functionality.

3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

Customer is deploying Windows nodes in our Red Hat OpenShift 4.x environment using the Windows Machine Config Operator (WMCO). These nodes are joined to an Active Directory (AD) domain as per our enterprise security and policy requirements.
