If I understand correctly, Tvoss217 could not re-join the domain because he/she doesn't even know what the domain name was, and that's what he/she is trying to find.
I think you could have a look at the following files in the local machine:
<WINDOWS_DIRECTORY>\security\logs\winlogon.log: I think you could find the domain name here, if some domain policy was applied to the machine sometime. Look for some text including "GPO".
<WINDOWS_DIRECTORY>\debug\NetSetup.log: Look for "NetpCheckDomainNameIsValid", a function that is called by the OS to verify domain names.]
