That would probably be the best approach. You can easily get a list of user
names, just doing a dir of the folder names (since they should be the
same). Break those into 3 text files, the run set-aduser against that file.
(I don’t have time to get the exact syntax.)
When I had to do the same several years ago I used the AD command dsmod. I
can give you the syntax I used for that because I saved it:
for /F %x in (homedrives.txt) do (dsmod user
"CN=%x,OU=useraccounts,DC=domain,DC=com" -hmdir "\\fileserver1\users\%x"
-hmdrv Z:) >>createhomedirs.log

*Subject:* [NTSysADM] Splitting User Home Folders
Currently, all of our user home folders are all lumped together under a
single DFS share called ‘users’. The folder has become so large now that
navigating the tree in explorer and file backup/restores are taking
for-ev-er to complete. So we’re looking at ways to split these up into
multiple folders, maybe alphabetically…A-J, K-S, etc.
If I create this kind of structure in DFS, is there some kind of automated
way to update the users account to point to the new folder? Is there a
better way to skin this cat?
Thanks all.
