Don't confuse a DNS (or Internet or AD) domain and a NetBIOS domain. A NetBIOS domain is flat, non-hierarchical, no dots and it has little to do with its hierarchical cousin. It is a common configuration to have a DNS domain of "example.com" and a NetBIOS workgroup or domain of "EXAMPLE" but there's no rule or necessity to do so, the workgroup could easily be called "BUTTERCUP" instead with no operating difference.
