Is it possible to add / remove a user from a outlook Distribution List using a program? I am not referring to the DLs in the local contacts list but the global address book. I have the permission to add / remove a user.

Also, is it possible to retrieve the users list with their properties based on the DL name?

Is it possible using vbscript or some other language?

Can you please edit your question and clarify what DL means? I assume you mean Distribution List, but let's not assume.

I don't have the time to write a proper answer now, but I have done this before with PowerShell.

This is very easy with the Redemption library.

set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")

Session.Logon

set Contacts = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)

set DL = Contacts.Items.Add("IPM.DistList")

DL.DLName = "sample distribution list"

DL.AddMember("test <test@example.com>")

DL.Save
