As this laptop has not joined the domain then it is only logging on locally, hence the 169 ip address.
This should change as you join to the domain.
At what point are you checking the ip address?
Are you doing any of the above?
How are you going to join the domain with a 169 address?

Plus a DHCP server will give an address to whatever requests one, not just members of a domain
