How do I know whether a AD group is a Distribution Group or Security Group? Note: I am an ordinary user. I do not have permission to run power shell scripts. Any way to identify using User Interface that does not require admin permissions?

Which "User Interface" are you referring to? Do you have access to the Active Directory Users and Computers interface? If not, how would you look at a list of groups that you'd like to know this about? – Handyman5 Jan 12 '12 at 09:46

If you can assign the group permissions to a folder in your home directory using Windows Explorer, it is a security group.

You can view domain properties as a normal user even though you have no permissions to change anything.
Just install the Windows Admin Tools and open Active Directory Users and Computers from the Administrative Tools menu.
