user-rights

I was given access to a Windows Server 2008 box and I need to check what all permissions I have on that box (if possible in the entire domain). I don't have access to domain controller and I don't want to write LDAP queries but just some GUI option or some command line stuff. Is there anyway?

PS: I am not in to network administration, I am a BI developer. Pardon me if asked a stupid question.
