Question: How can you use EMU to find and delete orphan home directories?

Answer: This requires two separate operations:

To Find Orphan Home Directories

Open EMU.
Select "Tools" > "Reports" > "Orphan Home Directories".
In the "Report" window, click Next >.
In the "Select Reports Context" window, container in eDirectory that will contain the volume objects where the home directories are located and click Next >.
In the "Directory Location" window select the volume that contains the home directories and click OK.
This will produce a "Results" window. Click Export to create a .csv file with the list of orphan directories. Click Generate to create a batch file that will flag and remove orphan directories.

To Remove Orphan Home Directories

Use the .CSV file created in step 6 above to examine, confirm and/or delete directories as required.
Run the .BAT file to permanently remove the orphan home directories.
