Modifying Powershell script to list all Home drive or directories with no AD account associated.

Hi people,

I'd like to know if it is possible to modify the script below which search and list any User home flder which is still exist in the File Server but there is no owner or no AD account owning it:

Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=Disabled USERS,OU=Main Office,DC=domain,DC=com" -F * -Pr HomeDirectory | ?{$_.HomeDirectory -match "^\\\\FileServerHQ\\Users"} | Select Name,HomeDirectory,@{N="Size";E={"{0:N2}"  -f ((Get-ChildItem $_.HomeDirectory -Recurse | Measure-Object -property length -sum).sum / 1MB) + " MB"}} | Export-CSV C:\TEMP\report.csv -NoTypeInformation

Try..

GCI "\\FileServerHQ\Users" -Directory | %{$Folder = $_;Try {Get-ADUser $Folder.name}Catch{$_.Exception.Message | Select @{N="User";E={$Folder.Name}},@{N="HomeDirectory";E={$Folder.Fullname}},@{N="Error";E={$_}}}} | Export-CSV C:\TEMP\report.csv -NTI

Open in new window

GCI "\\FileServerHQ\Users" | ?{ $_.PSIsContainer } | %{$Folder = $_;Try {Get-ADUser $Folder.name}Catch{$_.Exception.Message | Select @{N="User";E={$Folder.Name}},@{N="HomeDirectory";E={$Folder.Fullname}},@{N="Error";E={$_}}}} | Export-CSV C:\TEMP\report.csv -NTI

Open in new window

Script searches through the home folders inside \\FileServerHQ\Users and lists the folders which it fails to find a user in AD.

Hi Subsun,

It returns back with some error:

Select : The "E" key has a type, System.Object[], that is not valid; expected types are {System.String, System.Management.Automation.ScriptBlock}.

This is the script that I executed:

GCI "\\FileServer06\Users" -Directory | %{$Folder = $_;Try {Get-ADUser $Folder.name}Catch{$_.Exception.Message | Select @{N="User";E={$Folder.Name}},@{N="HomeDirectory";E={$Folder.Fullname}}, @{N="Size";E={"{0:N2}" -f ((Get-ChildItem $_.HomeDirectory -Recurse | Measure-Object -property length -sum).sum / 1MB) + " MB"} ,@{N="Error";E={$_}}}}} | Export-CSV C:\TEMP\reportOrphanedDir.csv -NoTypeInformation

@Subsun,

Thanks for the reply.

However, the result is the full dump of my AD account:

DistinguishedName	Enabled	GivenName	Name	ObjectClass	ObjectGUID	SamAccountName	SID	Surname	UserPrincipalName

Open in new window

so not the orphaned directory with the size ?
