It works this way interactively as well as in a script:

  $ touch komisch
  $ ll komisch
  -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen 0 Apr  5 14:40 komisch
  $ chown administrators.root komisch
  $ ll komisch
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 Administrators root 0 Apr  5 14:40 komisch
  $ chmod 600 komisch
  $ ll komisch
  -rw-rw---- 1 Administrators root 0 Apr  5 14:40 komisch
  $
