If your computer is connected to the Weinberg IT Active Directory, you'll see "Domain: ad.wcas.northwestern.edu" under the section for Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings.

For OS X users:

Open System Preferences by clicking the Apple menu in the upper left hand corner of your screen and choosing System Preferences. Choose the "Accounts" pane in the window that opens, and then select Login Options. You should see a Accounts window similar to the one pictured below. If your computer is connected to the Weinberg IT Active Directory, you'll see "Network Account Server: Multiple" as seen in the image.
