Hey, that's pretty good! works nicely!
I'm trying to put it all together with other tools, I can get a listing of all homedirectories easily enough, now I can get the owners of specific directories. But one last item. How can I get a listing of all directories if they the shares are hidden with a "$"?
example: my homedirectory is \\ADProd1\1965$, but that doesn't match the "actual" name of the folder.

You'll need to escape the backslash characters with a "\5c" (without the
quotes). Use this syntax:
"homedirectory=\5c\5ctconwl11\5chome\5c1973"
Didn't try it with LDP, but it works with ADFind...
