My powershell skills are uh… well, not good, BUT… I’ll give it a try, haha.

You can easily get a list of user names, just doing a dir of the folder names (since they should be the same). Break those into 3 text files, the run set-aduser against that file. (I don’t have time to get the exact syntax.) When I had to do the same several years ago I used the AD command dsmod. I can give you the syntax I used for that because I saved it: for /F %x in (homedrives.txt) do (dsmod user "CN=%x,OU=useraccounts,DC=domain,DC=com" -hmdir "\\fileserver1\users\%x<file:///\\fileserver1\users\%25x>" -hmdrv Z:) >>createhomedirs.log From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Melvin Backus Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2015 2:51 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] RE: Splitting User Home Folders Certainly sounds like a script it in Powershell situation. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kelsey, John Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2015 1:42 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] Splitting User Home Folders Currently, all of our user home folders are all lumped together under a single DFS share called ‘users’. The folder has become so large now that navigating the tree in explorer and file backup/restores are taking for-ev-er to complete. So we’re looking at ways to split these up into multiple folders, maybe alphabetically…A-J, K-S, etc. If I create this kind of structure in DFS, is there some kind of automated way to update the users account to point to the new folder? Is there a better way to skin this cat? Thanks all. *************************************** John C.
