Use subinacl (resource kit tool). Assuming that your folders are named with the username (ie user 1234 has a home folder 1234) then you can do:
for /d %i in (*) do subinacl /subdirectories %i\*.* /setowner=<domain>\%i replace <domain> with your domain. This will take quite a while to run...

I was trying to avoid allowing the user to be able to change permissions (thus blocking prying administrator eyes). How can I change the owner via script on 5,000 folders?
