Did a Google search for a line command utility to determine the domain controller for a system and the second answer at this link suggests using nltest. Although that documentation link on nltest indicates that it applies to Windows server OSes, I have found that command on Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Of course, if you wanted to use nltest as alternate solution, you will need to run this on the remote system. For that, you may want to check out psexec, which is part of the SysInternals set of tools. Basically psexec will let you run commands on remote Windows based systems.
