how to identify a domain controller through its registry keys ?

I am not aware of any, but:

set dc=N
for /f "Tokens=*" %a in ('netdom query dc^|Find /I "%ComputerName%"') do set dc=Y

or
set dc=N
for /f "Tokens=*" %a in ('DSQUERY SERVER -O RDN^|Find /I "%ComputerName%"') do set dc=Y

Actually, you CAN identify a DC via the registry.

HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/ProductOptions/ProductType

will be: ServerNT for a member server and LanmanNT for a DC
