FWIW in the exim-config script I chown to 544, and 544 is hard coded in exim.
The script warns the user if s/he is not in the 544 group.
I never got any complaint. 
Not sure what else to do, using "Administrators" only works on English systems.

I understand that it can be useful to have a root:0 entry, but there is nothing
bad having two entries with the same SID (544 first):
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
root:*:0:0:,S-1-5-32-544::
