Thanks Rich. You are absolutely correct. I had the order wrong. However,
after changing the order, I get an error stating the item doesn't exist. Let
me take another look to see if I goofed something up. Thanks for the
immediate response.

One more thing, once I get this script working, how to I apply it to all
users in the OU? Would I just use the %username% in the place of the
username and home directory folder name?
