Re: Owner of a distribution list   

You can use ADSI to change the managedby Active Directory attribute all you 
need to do is put the Distinguished name of the owner in the attribute eg

set objgroup = getobject("LDAP://groupdn")
objgroup.managedby = "userdn"
objGroup.SetInfo

To tick the "manager can update membership list" checkbox and allow the 
owner to modify the DL members you have to give that user the "write 
members" right on the group see 
http://rallenhome.com/books/adcookbook/src/07.07-delegate_control_of_group_members.vbs.txt 
for a sample of doing this

Cheers
