I am trying to find orphaned user directory. I have already exported users, disabled users, users without the directory path. I found this online but it not working. any thoughts?

[CmdletBinding()]
param(
[string]$HomeFolderPath = ’
)
Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath “$HomeFolderPath” -Force | Where-Object {$.PSIsContainer} | ForEach-Object {
Try{
$CurrentPath = Split-Path -Path $ -Leaf
$ADResult = ([adsisearcher]“(samaccountname=$CurrentPath)”).Findone()

if ($ADResult)

try{
$ouIndex = $($ADResult.Properties.distinguishedname).IndexOf(‘OU=’)
$OU = ($ADResult.Properties.distinguishedname).Substring($ouIndex)
}
catch{
Write-Warning -Message "Object $($ADResult.Properties.distinguishedname) is in a Container. "
$OU=‘Default Container’
}

$HashProps = [PSCustomObject]@{
‘SamAccountName’ = $CurrentPath
‘Name’ = $($ADResult.Properties.name)
‘FullPath’ = $.FullName
‘HomeDirectory’ = $($ADResult.Properties.homedirectory)
‘Manager’ = $manager
‘Location’ = $($ADResult.Properties.l)
‘Department’ = $($ADResult.Properties.department)
‘Account Status’ = $status
‘OU’ = $OU
}
}
Else {
$HashProps = [PSCustomObject]@{
‘SamAccountName’ = $CurrentPath
‘Name’= ‘N/A’
‘FullPath’ = $.FullName
‘HomeDirectory’ = ‘N/A’
‘Manager’ = ‘N/A’
‘Location’ = ‘N/A’
‘Department’ = ‘N/A’
‘Account Status’ = ‘Non-Existent’
‘OU’ = ‘N/A’
}
}
}
catch {
Write-Warning $_
}
finally{
#write output $HashProps
$HashProps
}
}

} elseif (([boolean]((-join $ADResult.Properties.useraccountcontrol) -band 2))) {
$HashProps = @{
‘Error’ = ‘Account is disabled and has a home folder’
‘FullPath’ = $_.FullName
}
export-csv “c:\ophhome.csv” -NoTypeInformation

My fist thought is to please use the insert code button.

My second thought it, what is the error you are getting or what exactly is not working?

If you post code, please use the ‘Insert Code’ button. Please and thank you!

How is it not working? Do you get an error? Does it output unexpected results? What results do you expect?

Please use the </> button in the toolbar to post Powershell code, which makes it easier to read.

I been able to get the users, terminated users, users with no home directory.in AD. And Active users with no home directory. But when i try to find orphaned user home directory. I can not every error possible i think. I change the line and I think I fix it and then another part of the code is incorrect.

So what is the issue? The term " but it not working. any thoughts?" does not help us

In general, telling us what does not work is helpful to provide a clue as to the issue.

Some thoughts: bringing the code in VSCode shows you have some syntax errors. Please fix that before looking for help! Also check line 13.

When creating a hashtable, I do not use quotes around member names so

@{
  foo = ;'bar'
}

But that is style.

It would be useful to know what you expected this to do and what happens? Do you get an run time error? Does the code even run?
