!!! Overview
[Microsoft Active Directory] uses [{$pagename}] as a [Bitmask] that define the type and scope of a [group|Group-AD] object in [Active Directory Groups].

NOTE: pagename only applies to the default group [ObjectClass Type] [Group|Group-AD].

!! Possible Values

||INT||Hex||Description
|0|0x00000000|MSDN says it could be 0 but not what "0" is.
|1|0x00000001|Specifies a group that is created by the system.
|2|0x00000002|Specifies a group with [Global Group].
|4|0x00000004|Specifies a group with [Domain Local Group].
|8|0x00000008|Specifies a group with [Universal Group].
|16|0x00000010|Specifies an APP_BASIC group for Windows Server Authorization Manager.
|32|0x00000020|Specifies an APP_QUERY group for Windows Server Authorization Manager.
|2147483648|0x80000000|Specifies a [Security Group]. If this bit is not set, then the group is a [Distribution Group].

In case you’re interested, the values 2 - ([Global Group]) , 4 - ([Domain Local Group]), and 8 ([Universal Group]). The value -2147483648 identifies [Security Groups]. 

To determine the full [{$pagename}] you add the first number (2, 4, or 8) to the second number:
* -2147483648 if the group is a [Security Groups]
* 0 if the group is a [Distribution Group]). 
A [Domain Local Distribution Group|Domain Local Group] has a value of 4 (4 + 0); a [Domain Local Security Group|Domain Local Group] has a value of -2147483644 (4 + -2147483648).

!! [LDAP]
From [LDAP] these will appear as:
* -2147483650 - (0 + 2) - [Global Group] - [Distribution Group]
* -2147483652 - (0 + 4) - [Domain Local Group] - [Distribution Group]
* -2147483656 - (0 + 8) - [Universal Group] - [Distribution Group]
* -2147483650 - (2147483648 + 2) - [Global __Security__ Group|Global Group]
* -2147483652 - (2147483648 + 4) - [Domain Local __Security__ Group|Domain Local Group]
* -2147483656 - (2147483648 + 8) - [Universal __Security__ Group|Universal Group]

In case you’re interested, the values 2, 4, and 8 identify – respectively – global, domain local, and universal groups. The value -2147483648 identifies security groups. To determine the group type you add the first number (2, 4, or 8) to the second number (-2147483648 if the group is a security group, 0 if it’s a distribution group). A domain local distribution group has a value of 4 (4 + 0); a domain local security group has a value of -2147483644 (4 + -2147483648).
