Is there a VB script to locate one or more home directories for a user?

This will return the home directory that is set in active directory:

dsquery user -samid usernam|dsget user -hmdir

where will this script run?

@ xylog:

Thanks, but what I need is to locate other home directories that isn't the main one under the "Profile" tab in Active Directory.  

My main home directory folder is located here:

\\HomeServer1\SharedDrive1\SharedVol1\qnguye01

I recently found out that I had another one located somewhere else, like:

\\HomeServer3\SharedDrive4\SharedVol3\qnguye01

Is there a way to locate multiple home directories either using VB script, batch file or dsquery commands?

Thanks!!!

Where will this script run?  Either my primary workstation or one of the file servers hosting the home directories data.

If you want to locate a directory with a specific name in a specified location you can use a series of "if exist" statements in a batch file:

findhomes.bat
==========
@echo off
if exist \\HomeServer1\SharedDrive1\SharedVol1\%1 echo \\HomeServer1\SharedDrive1\SharedVol1\%1

if exist \\HomeServer3\SharedDrive4\SharedVol3\%1 echo \\HomeServer3\SharedDrive4\SharedVol3\%1

===========

to run:

findhomes qnguye01

Alternatively if you want to search the entire hard drive you can enumerate all the directories with a dir statement:

dir /ad /s |findstr qnguye01

This is a bit slow if you have many directories (say, more than several hundred)

There is a middle ground if you have many volumes you can loop thru them like so:

for /d %%i in (\\HomeServer1\SharedDrive1\*) do if exist  %%i\%1 echo %%i\%1

If you have multiple shares we can loop thru them with the net view command. For multiple servers best bet is to loop thru a list in a text file.

Thanks for ALL of your help!!!  Have a good day!!!
