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?

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.
