Actually, I think Toby is right - you should be able to authenticate against
a domain using this. Using a DC as the "domain" operand shouldn't work if
this statement is true, but using a domain name that this local machine
belongs to should allow things to work.

We are trying to login to the local machine, only within a particular
domain.
