NTFS rights on user home directories

A quick script that loopes through all folders and checks if there is a user account in the domain; if not it will move the directory to the __unconnected__ folder.
Have a normal Windows setup where the user have a home folder on the file server? All the users are connected to their \\fileserver\home$\%username% via GPO on logon. However we found that some of the folders had rights that where messed up. So I wrote a quick script that loopes through all folders and checks if there is a user account in the domain; if not it will move the directory to the __unconnected__ folder. For all know users it uses cacls command to set rights for the user and admins only. If you need something else you can just edit the cacls command before you run it! Script is provided as is and feel free to modify it...
