   Hi,

   Unfortunatelly you have no way of checking if it’s an actual domain or not.

   Example (this is a computer in the Workgroup test.local):

   PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem

   Domain : TEST.LOCAL
   Manufacturer : Microsoft Corporation
   Model : Virtual Machine
   Name : WIN-2K8R2-01
   PrimaryOwnerName : Windows User
   TotalPhysicalMemory : 1073274880

   Cheers

      Hi Gabriel,

      You can use the PartOfDomain boolean property from the Win32_ComputerSystem class.
      (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem).PartOfDomain

      Regards,

      Steve
