I want to move the homedirectory folder for all users in an OU to a new share. I have this: 

$users = get-aduser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=HDrive_Delete,OU=SC,OU=Disabled Accounts,DC=test,DC=LOC" -Properties SamAccountName,homedirectory,Division

foreach($user in $users)
{
Move-Item "($_.homedirectory)" \\fileserver\DisabledHomeDrives\$_.homedirectory
}

It not working. Should I create two strings, sourcefolder, targetfodler, and then pass that to a robocopy script?

I need to query an OU
Move the folder and append the folder name
Delete the original folder (in the case robocopy is used)

thank you!!!
