#Backstory: we had a set of home folder shares on a server that we needed to migrate to a new server, DFS allowed us to replicate the content and NTFS #permissions but not the share properties on the folders. wrote the script below to accomplish re-applying the share properties

#####################################################

#applies share permissions to leaf folders that are in username format

#changes ad profile home directory to new location

#folders must end in name that matches the username..

######################################################

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"

#get shares in specific folder, i.e. \\server\e$\1,2,3 or whatever it is
