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"
The output as follows means that your computer is a part of a domain global.net.intra:
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).

Hello, I’m afraid the command does not return any information. I’ve tried it in 3 differente computers with CMD and PS.
May be late.. but the D in “Domain” is case sensitive and must be Capitalized
It did on my Windows 10 PC (more than one PC).
ran this at CMD:
systeminfo | findstr /B “Domain”
Got this as a reply:
Domain: ***********.com
If it doesn’t show a result, the computer may not be a member of a domain, but instead of a workgroup.
