powershell for home folder owner change
Dear Experts,
Could you please help me with this.
I have over 500 user home folders on a file share
Current owner of some of those home folders are not the actual user owners. I can see that administrator as current owner on some and some other names as owner of some others home folders. So it is a bit mess to me.
during the account creation, home folder names gets added as %username% in the home folder section in AD.
For reporting purposes ( to identify who is owner of another home folder) and to assign ownership of home folders to actual users, Could you please provide me with a PowerShell to run against \\server\share\users\home ?
for an example;
Mike has a home folder called Mike.Buck if his home folder's owner is administrator or another user, I would like to be informed about it on a excel and meanwhile, current owner must be changed to Mike.Buck. I believe Mike must also have full ntfs permissions to his home folder.
thanks

excellent result.

this is just excellent! output was as I expected.
I'm assuming it is only exporting home folders that currently owned by others and not exporting Mike.Buck as Mike already owner of his home folder?
One small favour please, if I wanted to run this against a specific OU in AD ( I want to do 100 users a day), could you modify it for me?
