How can I find out what AD groups I'm a member of?
Try running gpresult /R
for RSoP summary or gpresult /V
for verbose output from the command line as an administrator on the computer. It should output something like this:
C:\Windows\system32>gpresult /V

This should not only list security groups but distribution groups, if I recall correctly (and which might also be useful to know). Also takes care of nesting, ie you are in group A which is in B, so it shows you as also in B (again I am trying to recall the details here).
In Vista and Win7 natively, for XP you probably need the sp2 support tools (which would also require that you have sufficient priviledges to install them of course). http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=49AE8576-9BB9-4126-9761-BA8011FABF38&displaylang=en
