Log file for joining a domain

If you have auditing enabled, this should be present in the event log on
your DC(s).

I am not aware of any such logs.

But, in windows 2000 domain _any_ user (not only e.g. domain admin!!!) that
can authenticate to domain can join up to 10 Workstations to domain.

The DC's event log will show domain changes, though I think you need
to configure aduiting for these events.

Workstations to domain.

Auditing "Account Management" success events will log an event for the
creation of the machine account, or machine account password reset.
