There are few ways to get FARM server where SharePoint Central Administration site is hosted.
Using PowerShell cmdLets:-
1- Get-spwebapplication -includecentraladministration | where {$_.DisplayName -match "SharePoint Central Administration*"} | select DisplayName,Url
The above cmdLet is good while you are trying to retrieve url of the CA either it is hosted on same machine or on different one (during n-tier farm architecture)
But suppose, I want to check that does this machine having CA hosted, then above code will not work.
For this we need to run the following:
2- Get-spwebapplication -includecentraladministration | where {$_.IsAdministrationWebApplication} | select DisplayName,Url
Without PowerShell
3.1 :-Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\" -Name CentralAdministrationURL - For SharePoint 2013
3.2 :-Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0\WSS\" -Name CentralAdministrationURL - For SharePoint 2010
