If there is an environment variable set to the workgroup name you
might find it easier to read that. See

  http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getenv()

I don't have access to a Windows machine with a workgroup to check if
there is such an environment variable, but my bet is that there will
be.

As other people have pointed out this is very much system-dependent -
but that might not be a problem for you.
