Provided that the computer in question has already been added to your JSS, and the user account signed in is a domain account, you can use this - keep in mind, make sure the computer you're joining is connected to your company's network at the time.

sudo jamf policy -trigger bindforce

If you are asking how to do it with the CLI (to use in a script, for example), look up the man page for dsconfigad.

I have a post that includes information on how to bind to AD using dsconfigad. It's available here:
