This is necessary, but not always sufficient. You may also have to set the 
adminSDHolder attribute to zero:

        objADObject.Put "adminSDHolder", 0

Just applying inheritable permissions fixes SOME things. Others require the 
reset value...

I stole this from somewhere, and saved it in a file called
ClearAdminSDHolderForOneUser.vbs. Worked just fine.
