Setting a password hint on administrator account in Windows Server 2008 R2

I've tried to change a password on administrator account using Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts\Change Your Password but can't set a password hint. When I clicked What is a password hint I could read

"Because your computer is on a domain, you can't create a password hint."

Then I've opened computer properties and saw that the computer belong to workgroup only not a domain. Then I've run gpresult /v and it has printed a domain name which is a computer name and <Local Computer>. Could you explain it, I want to know if my computer belong to a domain or not as I don't remember if I configured PDC when installed the server or not? Also I don't have Active Directory Services role added to the server roles. And how to get information about domain controlles without adding ADS role?
