Hi Corinna,

thanks for the fast reply. But I probably didn't express myself clearly
enough. In need to distinguish a workgroup/single system from a domain
member to know if I have to create a local user (net user bla /add) or not.
This needs to happen before calling mkpasswd/~group and without knowledge
of the current workgroup-/domain-name. Background is that I would like to
start sshd with a domain user, but only if the current machine is member of
a domain. Depending on that difference I need to use mkpasswd/~group with
other parameters (-l vs. -d).

So question is more if there is any place on a windows system, a file or a
directory or an entry in a file that exists only if that machine is a
domain member?
