Why dont you ask NTFS instead of AD? Why not you use something like subinacl and query the folders of the owner? Assuming all folders that are valid have proper owners, I guess the invalid folders will have unresolvable SIDs or Administrator as the owner against them.

I know to write a script which will take a username and find that user's

the home directories folders - I've got nearly 20,000 home folders but
only about 15,000 active accounts so what I want to do is take each
folder name and ask AD who it belongs to.

I've tried using LDP with the query:

(homedirectory=\\tconwl11\home\1973)

but I get no results (but I know that I should get a result - that's my
home folder!) and I've tried the same thing as an ADSI search in
_vbscript_ and also get no results.

I also tried Joe's ADFind:

AdFind.exe -b dc=cnwl,dc=ac,dc=uk -f
"homedirectory=\\tconwl11\home\1973"
