Powershell Scripting for Home Drives

Hello All,

I have a power shell script which sets the correct permissions on a users home drive. the script works perfectly for all folders, apart from when a folder has v2 appended to it.

For example:

MDCollins (works fine)
MDCollins.V2 (errors)

Below i have pasted the script i am using

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$rootfolder = Get-ChildItem -Path \\mt02\test\profiles\
foreach ($userfolder in $rootfolder) {
$userfolder.FullName
If (get-aduser "$userfolder") {
Get-Acl $userfolder.FullName | Format-List
$acl = Get-Acl $userfolder.FullName
$acl.SetAccessRuleProtection($True, $False)
$acl.Access | ForEach-Object{ $acl.RemoveAccessRule($_) }
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("Everyone","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$acl.RemoveAccessRuleAll($rule)
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("Administrators","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("Domain Admins","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($userfolder.Name,"FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
$acct=New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("nt_hld_admin",$userfolder.name)
$acl.SetOwner($acct)
Set-Acl $userfolder.FullName $acl
Get-Acl $userfolder.FullName | Format-List
}
}

When i run the script, it searches active directory for (for example mdcollins.v2) and obviously no object exists for that, which is why it errors.

What i want to script to do, is to once it has found a folder without v2 in it, search for folders the same but with the .v2 added, then set the same permissions.

Hope this makes sense.

Any Ideas?

See KB288991 for the permissions to set on your root folder - hopefully that will alleviate the need for the powershell script at all.
