windows - Is there a simpler way to log into a local account on a domain workstation?

Occasionally I need to log into a local machine account on a Windows workstation joined to our domain. The syntax for specifying a domain account looks like this:

DOMAINNAME\myusername

whereas the syntax for logging into a local account is

HOSTNAME\myusername

The problem is that I often don't know the host name off the top of my head. It is possible to find out by clicking the "How do I log onto another domain" link, but this requires me to memorize or write down an often cryptic hostname. Is there another, simpler way to do this?

Answer

You can use a period to represent the local host name when logging in.

So, .\Administrator would be the local administrator account.
