MOW I am having the same issue, trying to set 500 owners from a text file feed. I can not find the Oisin's Get-Owner and Set-Owner cmdlet anywhere. Please advise.

Set a new file owner
My forehead is bruised from trying to come up with simple code to set a
new owner for a file. Something like this should work
$file=".\file.txt"
[System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]$newOwner="mydomain\roygbiv"
$var=get-item $file
$acl=$var.GetAccessControl()
$acl.SetOwner($NewOwner)
$var.SetAccessControl($acl)
But I always get: Exception calling "SetAccessControl" with "1"
argument(s): "The security identifier is not allowed to be the owner of
this object."
I'm doing this on a Windows 2003 SP2 server. I can assign the owner in
the GUI.
I can also get this far:
PS C:\public> $x=get-acl $file
PS C:\public> $x.SetOwner($newOwner)
Looking at $x shows the new owner. But I can't find a way to "set" the
new owner. I don't know if I'm using the wrong principal type or what.
I've also tried variations with Get-Acl and Set-Acl, but also with no luck.
I found some older posts on mucking around with principal policies but
that looked like pre-release code.

you can only set it to administrators or your account,
this is a "security" restriction I think (not a good one, as the good guys
need it hardly (quota etc) and the bad guys can do it anyway) , with the GUI
support I did think MS finaly realised that
and Yes !!
I got SetOwner working in Monad beta 2, that also had the Beta 2.0 framework
and added it to my typeinfo
http://mow001.blogspot.com/2005/10/getting-and-using-securityprincipal.html
I was very glad with it, finaly
but it does not work anymore in powershell 1.0 (.NET 2.0 RTM ) seems they
removed the support for setting a owther owner again in the final 2.0
framework.
grrr.

Since I could do it in the GUI (which you could never do before), I was
still hoping to do it from PowerShell but it apparently isn't meant to
be. I suppose the workaround is to add an ACL to give the user the
TakeControl permission.
At least now I can stop banging my head on my desk.

I made a setowner in VB.NET before, as it did work in the beta I was glad I
did not need it anymore, but now I have to search for the source
again or better yet I have to find a opensource .NET library I can steal,
uhh use now , and load into powershell.
keep you posted ;-)

but only for this a bit much overhead and setowner.exe is not AV proof ;-)

I've confirmed that this WILL work:

The new owner must be the Administrators group or a domain admin
account. This is true on XP and Windows 2003 SP2. Even though the 2003
GUI lets you assign ownership, PowerShell can't.
