You can't. XP Media Center 2005 and more recent can't join a domain:

MORE INFORMATION
In earlier versions of Media Center, a scenario where you join your
computer to a domain is supported. If you upgrade to Windows XP Media
Center Edition 2005 from an earlier version of Media Center that is
joined to a domain, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 will retain the
domain status and credentials. If you remove the computer from the
domain to enable Fast User Switching for use with a Media Center
Extender, the computer will not be able to rejoin the domain.

Note You may still be able to use Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
to access domain resources that are shared on the network. You can do
this if the shared resource does not require that your computer is a
member of the domain.
