This is an enhanced script you can use with a TXT file. Just put the names line by line into the TXT file and run the script with your custom server names and domain name. Change the drive letter to one you like.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Import-Module NTFSSecurity

Function Migrate-UsersToNewHomeFolder {
[CmdletBinding()]
param(
[string[]] $UserName,
[string] $OldServer = ‘OldServerName’,
[string] $NewServer = ‘NewServerName’,
[string] $Domain = ‘domain.com’,
[string] $UserListFile
)

BEGIN {
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Import-Module NTFSSecurity
}

PROCESS {
if ($UserListFile -eq $null) {
Write-Error “Please provide a User file.”
return
}

$UserList = Get-Content $UserListFile

foreach ($name in $UserList) {
if ([bool](Get-ADUser -Filter {samaccountname -eq $name} )) {
Get-ADUser $name | Set-ADUser -HomeDrive H: -HomeDirectory “\\$NewServer\Users\$name”
robocopy “\\$OldServer\Users\$name” “\\$NewServer\Users\$name” /mir /copy:datou /r:1 /w:10
Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
Set-NTFSOwner -Path “\\$NewServer\Users\$name” -Account Administrators
Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
Add-NTFSAccess -Path “\\$NewServer\Users\$name” -Account “$Domain\$name” -AccessRights FullControl -AccessType Allow -AppliesTo ThisFolderSubfoldersAndFiles
}
}
}

END {}
