User Directory Identification - powershell

Question

I need to create a script to iterate through a list of user samaccountnames and identify network directories matching their samaccountname on the network. It doesn't seem to work though. Users home folders on the network use their samaccountname in the path. Here is what I have so far:
$userList = "C:\Users\sfp01\My
Documents\Data_Deletion_Testing\User_SamAccountName.csv"
$userDirectory = foreach ($user in $userList)
{
Get-ChildItem -Path "\\ceoii\" -Directory -Recurse | ? {}
}
Export-Csv -Path "C:\Users\sfp01\My
Documents\Data_Deletion_Testing\User_Directory.csv"

Answer 1

First, you need to import the csv as your first line just saves the location of the file in the variable rather than the contents of the file.
Second, you didn't provide the column name of the csv file that contains the user's saMAccountName. You'll need to set up your Where-Object to filter using that information. I am using -match on saMAccountName, but edit this to reflect your requirements.
And I don't think that \\servername\ isn't a valid share name, it should be a share like \\servername\share\ If you want to get all the shares from a server you could enumerate them with something like this invoke-command -ComputerName ceoii -ScriptBlock {Get-SmbShare}
You also probably want to only pull the list of folders once and then filter for each user.
Lastly, you save the information in $userDirectory so you'll want to pipe that information into your export-csv.
$userList = Import-CSV 'C:\Users\sfp01\My Documents\Data_Deletion_Testing\User_SamAccountName.csv'
$folders = Get-ChildItem -Path "\\ceoii\sharename" -Directory -Recurse
$userDirectory = foreach ($user in $userList) {
$folders | Where-Object {$_.name -match $user.saMAcountName}
}
$userDirectory | Export-Csv -Path 'C:\Users\sfp01\My Documents\Data_Deletion_Testing\User_Directory.csv'
More efficient than that would be to use -in or -contains if you know that the folder names exactly match.
$folders = Get-ChildItem -Path "\\ceoii\sharename" -Directory -Recurse
$userList = Import-CSV 'C:\Users\sfp01\My Documents\Data_Deletion_Testing\User_SamAccountName.csv' |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty saMAccountName
$folders |
Where-Object {$_.name -in $userList} |
Export-Csv -Path 'C:\Users\sfp01\My Documents\Data_Deletion_Testing\User_Directory.csv'
