Re: Home Directory Re-Permissions and Reset Profile

Hi dave313,

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying some of these users will have TOTALLY new accounts created (but with the same FirstName/LastName as before). If so, they'll have new SIDs?? I don't see the logic to this...

You can change the home drive mapping in AD using ADSI, and you can set permissions using CACLS, XCACLS.EXE or XCACLS.VBS or WMI or Win32 and C++ depending on your need.

We are in the mist of doing a forest migration using some software to assits. Howerver, due to budget limitations many of our accounts will not be able to be moved. We will be doing another process to move the accounts, however we wanted to try to use a script that woudl reset the users home directory path profile, and re-permissions the actual directory (that will still exist once moved), so their new account in the new domain has access back to this directory.

Has anyone already developed a script that does this?

Thanks for your help!!
