Check If Computer Is In Domain
Find out whatever a computer is a part of a Windows domain and get the domain name:
C:\> systeminfo | findstr /B "Domain"

Domain: global.net.intra
If you get the output as follows, it means that your computer is a part of a workgroup:
Domain: WORKGROUP
Domain vs. Workgroup: Domain is a group of computers that share a common user account database. Workgroup is a group of computers that share resources with each other in peer-to-peer network (without dedicated server to act as a domain controller).
