We usually create these and then assign someone (designated by the requestor) to be the manager of the DL from that point on, leaving our group free from the burden:

Greetings, EXCHANGE 2010 SP2 UR3 Outlook 2010 clients Please bear with me, as I have not had to deal with this since my Groupwise days so my terminology may not be correct regarding Exchange 2010. When we migrated from Groupwise to Exchange, we "grandfathered in" a small number of DLs that my operations group continues to manage through service tickets to add and remove users. Currently we have several requests to create and manage new Distribution Lists for specific departments as well as various projects. My thinking is there should be a way in OUTLOOK 20101 for each requestor to create a contact or DL, share this with others, and manage themselves without sending in service tickets to my group. I have done a lot of google on this, but find the terminology is not consistent. In summary, my goal is to provide documentation to each new requestor to manage/maintain themselves using their OUTLOOK client and then sharing a DL or CONTACTS with all the others they want involved. Again, sorry that I am not clear, but I am sure others have already figured this out and have suggestions I can test. Please let me know with any questions.
