Automatically create folder for home drive

In this post  https://richardspowershellblog.wordpress.com/2013/10/28/setting-ad-attributes-from-a-csv-file/

I showed how to modify the user’s home folder setting in Active Directory.

A comment was recently left asking about automatically creating the folder on the fileserver and creating the share that is associated with it.

This isn’t a simple exercise – you will need a script to:

You can create the folder using New-Item

New-Item -Path c:\test -Name anyolduser -Type Directory

You can share it

$max = [uint32]5

$type = [uint32]0

Invoke-CimMethod -ClassName Win32_Share -MethodName Create -Arguments @{Name=’anyolduser’; Path=’c:\test\anyolduser’;
Type=$type; MaximumAllowed=$max; Description=’anyolduser – homedrive’}

And then you have to set share and NTFS permissions according to your organization’s policies
