Restore redirected folder permissions after restore

$

Hello,

Hope someone can give me some pointers, before i start destroying permissions

I have a client whom after changing the target folder in DFS management, messed up their redirected folders permissions (Desktop, Documents, pictures etc.) many of these doesn't even have a owner. So we tried different things today, new GPO new folder structure etc. in the end we agreed that it would be easier to restore permissions, will this be best done by using a script?

The problem is that many of these folders dosnt even have a owner!! so before giving permissions i have to take ownership and the give permissions to the specific folder, i am trying to build a script (see below)

so my question is, will this work? and should create the script so it only changes the folders named according to folder redirection like Documents, Pictures etc. ? since some folders in their directory still works, apparently they have been given access to the unc path and added private folders.

$Folders = "UNC path"
$Folder = Get-ChildItem $Folders
$DomainName = "Domain"

Foreach ($User in $Folder) {
    #Takeownership
    TAKEOWN /F $Folders$User /R /D Y
    $Username = $User.Name
    $UsernameAndDomain = $DomainName + "\" + $Username
    $FullPath = "$Folders" + "$UsernameAndDomain"
    ICACLS ("$FullPath") /grant ("$UsernameAndDomain" + ':(OI)(CI)F') /T
    ICACLS ("$FullPath") /grant '"Domain Admins":(OI)(CI)F' /T
    #Restoreownership
    ICACLS ("$FullPath") /setowner "Domain Admins" /c /t
}
