Well, I went and looked and the owner is clearly listed
on my Win2003 Domain objects, and the odds are it is
listed on even Win2000 domains as well.
If not, it is certainly a property that can be found
programmatically, perhaps with regular or ADSI program.
DS Objects have owners. (They pretty much must have
in order to use permissions the way they do.)
Ownership is visible on each object through the Properties->
Security tab->Advanced->Ownership tab of that object.
You may have to enable View->Advanced to see the
security Tab in AD Users/Computers.
