How to determine if current user is a domain or local user?

Assuming you need it in script, PowerShell:

(gwmiWin32_LogonSession).GetRelated("Win32_UserAccount")

If you expect more than one logon session, then

(gwmi Win32_Process -filter "Handle = $Pid").GetRelated("Win32_LogonSession") |% {$_.GetRelated("Win32_UserAccount")}

will give you Win32_UserAccount for the account used to run current powershell instance.

  When i try (gwmi Win32_LogonSession).GetRelated("Win32_UserAccount"), I get an error Method invocation failed because [System.Object[]] doesn't contain a method named 'GetRelated'.
