When you say owner what exactly do you mean? I do not see any attribute listed as owner in active directory.

first you need to have advanced features turned on. &nbsp;Then select an object and go to properties, then security, advanced, then the owner tab. &nbsp;I can change them all this way however this will take way to long to do one by one, I need a massive change script.

Ok I see it now. That is actually the ACL of the object in active directory so you will not be able to change it using SET-ADCOMPUTER. To actually change that you would need to use a tool like DSACLS although Im not sure what the powershell equivalent is. <br />

I'm looking to do a massive change to a bunch of computers in AD. &nbsp;These computer objects need the owner change to a different user account. &nbsp;I am looking to use Set-ADComputer powershell command but I can't figure out what other options I need to use.<br />

Thanks.
