For information - domain name of computer and domain name of the logged-in user might not be same.

Try:
echo %USERDOMAIN%
or
echo %USERDNSDOMAIN%
If that still doesn't work, you can try using systeminfo:
systeminfo | findstr /B /C:”Domain”

%Userdomain% would give the domain of the user, not necessarily same as the domain name of the computer. windows-commandline.com/find-domain-name-command-line

The %USERDOMAIN% and the network computer domain can be different. The systeminfo command will get the right answer but it is SLOW! Here is a solution I've used:
@REM + find the computer domain name
FOR /F "usebackq tokens=*" %%a IN (`ipconfig /all`) DO (
@((ECHO %%a | findstr /i /c:"Primary Dns Suffix") && SET _str=%%a) > NUL 2>&1
)
FOR /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a IN ("%_str%") do SET _computerDomain=%%a
SET _computerDomain=%_computerDomain: =%
SET _fqdn=%COMPUTERNAME%.%_computerDomain%

I changed your script to use wmic.exe:
@REM + Find the computer domain name
@echo off
FOR /F "usebackq tokens=*" %%a IN (`wmic.exe COMPUTERSYSTEM GET DOMAIN /Value`) DO (
@((ECHO %%a | findstr /i /c:"Domain=") && SET _str=%%a) > NUL 2>&1
)
FOR /F "tokens=2 delims=^=" %%a IN ("%_str%") do SET _computerDomain=%%a
SET _computerDomain=%_computerDomain: =%
SET _fqdn=%COMPUTERNAME%.%_computerDomain%
echo %_fqdn%
Thx for your idea

You can run below command on command prompt:
set user
It gives you a lot more information related to domain in addition to the name of domain as shown in below snapshot:
- User DNS Domain
- User Domain
- User Domain Roaming Profile
- User Name
- User Profile
Important Note: Domain on which your computer is registered might not be same as the domain on which the logged-in user is registered. Please read about transitivity and direction in domain trust to know how a user registered in one domain can login to a computer on another domain.

@Mike: fine solution - but I had some problems with it in a multi-language enviroment.
I have German and English servers.
I changed your script to use wmic.exe:
@REM + Find the computer domain name
@echo off
FOR /F "usebackq tokens=*" %%a IN (`wmic.exe COMPUTERSYSTEM GET DOMAIN /Value`) DO (
@((ECHO %%a | findstr /i /c:"Domain=") && SET _str=%%a) > NUL 2>&1
)
FOR /F "tokens=2 delims=^=" %%a IN ("%_str%") do SET _computerDomain=%%a
SET _computerDomain=%_computerDomain: =%
SET _fqdn=%COMPUTERNAME%.%_computerDomain%
echo %_fqdn%

You can run below command on command prompt:
set user
It gives you a lot more information related to domain in addition to the name of domain as shown in below snapshot:
- User DNS Domain
- User Domain
- User Domain Roaming Profile
- User Name
- User Profile
Important Note: Domain on which your computer is registered might not be same as the domain on which the logged-in user is registered. Please read about transitivity and direction in domain trust to know how a user registered in one domain can login to a computer on another domain.
