Fortunately getent allows multiple keys, so this works:

case "$(getent group $(id -G))" in
   *:S-1-5-32-544:*) echo admin ;;
esac

Unfortunately this may be is slow in domains due to unneeded AD 
requests. Unlike mkgroup, getent output cannot be restricted to local 
groups (and the '-s SERVICE' option is apparently a no-op).
