I think it will not.

This if-statement judges whether the computer is on a domain or not.
The judgement should be true when it is on a domain.

Windows 7 computers on a domain set the environment LOGONSERVER.
So, added line results in true on them. Therefore, the judgment
result of the if-statement is the same as in the case without
the added line.

Windows 7 computer which is not on a domain does not set LOGONSERVER.
In this case:
"\\\\${COMPUTERNAME,,*}" != "${LOGONSERVER,,*}"  --> True
"${LOGONSERVER}" != "\\\\MicrosoftAccount"  --> True

So, the judgement without the added line is "It's on a domain.",
which is wrong. The added line avoids this miss judgement.
