Create mailbox for distribution group

We currently have a distribution group that is a member of hundreds of other groups.  We now need to change this group to a mailbox.   Is there anyway of doing this other than deleting the group and re-creating it as a user with a mailbox, and having to re-add it to all the groups.

This is not possible.  You're going to have to create as a user w/mailbox then re-add the user to the groups like you said, sorry Rory!
Maybe I am misunderstanding the problem, but it seems like you have a distribution list now, and you want anything sent to that distribution list to got to a specific mailbox.  So why don't you just create a mailbox, and assign the mailbox to the distribution list?  Doesn't this achieve the result you are looking for?
