How compare Home folders and Active Directory with copy/remove folders? - powershell

Question

i working on one project and i have problem. Assignment: The powershell script must compare Home user folders on F:UserHome with AD by name. If name folder is same with name in ActiveDirectory, dont do anything and continue.
But if user isn't in AD, script must compare:
If home adressar contains data, move this adresar from F: to Synology NAS(it is another server).
If home adressar is empty, it can be remove/delete.
But i must sort this home adresar to 2 folders(UserToMove.txt/UserToRemove.txt) for my boss too - with the same conditions.
If you don't understand something, I can explain it again. It's very important for me.
Here is my script, which i create, but isn't working: - there's a mess in it
$homeDriveRoot = "F:\UserHome"
$leaversRoot = "\new storage on NAS"
$folders = Get-ChildItem $homeDriveRoot | Select -ExpandProperty Name
foreach($folder in $folders) {
$folder
#Compare by name
$u = Get-ADUser -identity $folder -Filter {Enabled -eq $true}|Select ExpandProperty Name
#If>0
if (($u).count -gt 0) {
#If empty - remove
if(($u) -eq $null){ Copy-Object -Path "$homeDriveRoot$_" -Destination C:\Users\branym.adm\desktop\remove.csv -Force}
#If<0 write to file
else{Copy-Object -Path "$homeDriveRoot$_" -Destination C:\Users\branym.adm\Desktop\active.csv -Force};
}
#If dont search
else { echo "lost $u folder"}
}

I think this may help you:
$homeDriveRoot = "F:\UserHome"
$leaversRoot = "\new storage on NAS"
# create two variables for the output text files. (they will end up on your desktop)
$removeFile = Join-Path -Path ([Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop")) -ChildPath 'UserToReMove.txt'
$moveFile = Join-Path -Path ([Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop")) -ChildPath 'UserToMove.txt'
# check if the destination folder in $leaversRoot exists. If not create it first
if (!(Test-Path -Path $leaversRoot -PathType Container)) {
New-Item -Path $leaversRoot -ItemType Directory | Out-Null
}
# get a list of all folders in the $homeDriveRoot.
# The items in the list are FolderInfo objects, not simply strings.
# If your PowerShell version is less than 3.0, write it like this:
# $folders = Get-ChildItem -Path $homeDriveRoot | Where-Object { $_.PSIsContainer }
$folders = Get-ChildItem -Path $homeDriveRoot -Directory
foreach($folder in $folders) {
# see if we can find an AD user with this SamAccountName
$user = Get-ADUser -Identity $folder.BaseName
if (!$user -or $user.Enabled -eq $false) {
# there is no active AD user found for this folder name
# test if the folder is empty or not
# by using Select-Object -First 1 the enumeration of files and/or folders stops at the first item
if ((Get-ChildItem -Path $folder.FullName -Force | Select-Object -First 1 | Measure-Object).Count -eq 0) {
# the folder is empty, so it can be deleted
# Add a line to the $removeFile
Add-Content -Path $removeFile -Value $folder.BaseName
Remove-Item -Path $folder.FullName -Force -Confirm:$false -WhatIf
}
else {
# the folder has items in it, so move it to NAS
# Add a line to the $moveFile
Add-Content -Path $moveFile -Value $folder.BaseName
Move-Item -Path $folder.FullName -Destination $leaversRoot -Force -WhatIf
}
}
}
Take off the -WhatIf switches from the Remove-Item and Move-Item cmdlets if the results are what you expect.
These switches are for testing and nothing actually gets moved or removed.
