I am writing a script to pull all the users who has a homedirectory on a certain server using a wild card. It runs and no errors but it exports nothing and doesn't run long.
Any assistance would be appreciated:

Code:
$csvfile = "C:\Scripts\Home-Dir-Lookup.csv"

Get-QADUser -SizeLimit 0 -SearchRoot "ou=Ccntr-J,OU=Region Coastal,OU=Central Division,DC=home,DC=com,DC=com" -HomeDirectory *'
-ObjectAttributes @{homeDirectory='\\fla*'} -IncludeAllProperties |'
Select-Object LogonName,HomeDirectory |
Export-Csv $csvfile
 
I'm not well versed at powershell but looking at your syntax it looks like you made a possible typo.It should be DC=home , dc=com not DC=home, dc=com , dc=com.There could be something else but I caught that possible error while reading your script.
 
I have removed the second dc=com and receive
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: :)) [Get-QADUser], COMException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException,Quest.ActiveRoles.ArsPowerShellSnapIn.Powershell.Cmdlets.GetUserCmdlet
 
First I would try running that command in segments in my console window, to see if you get any output.

Break it down:

Get-QADUser -SizeLimit 0 -SearchRoot "ou=Ccntr-J,OU=Region Coastal,OU=Central Division,DC=home,DC=com,DC=com"

If you don't get all of the users in the Cost-Center-J OU here, Stop and fix the errors. I think your formatting looks strange on the OU name. Try changing the DC=Home to OU=Home. You only use DC= for your the name of the domain.

Furthermore, if you're having trouble on the formatting of your Distinguished Names for your OU's, try this, replacing the text in -like "Your_OU_name_Here" with the OU you want.

get-qadobject -Type 'organizationalUnit' | ? {$_.Name -like "Your_OU_Name_Here*"}

You can copy the output from this to get the correct formatting of your OU's Distinguished Name.
