I'm ashamed to post a question like this, but I may be very tired !!

Get-qaduser UserName | Set-QADUser -HomeDirectory "\\SBS02\Userdata\
$_.logonname" -HomeDrive "H"

$_.logonname is not replaced with what it should be !

I've tried this too

get-qaduser Username| Set-QADUser -HomeDirectory "\\SBS02\Userdata\$
($_.logonname)" -HomeDrive "H"

but it set the value only with \\SBS02\Userdata\

This is my solution bu I think is is ugly

get-qaduser | ? {$_.dn -match "lauder" -and !$_.homedirectory} |
foreach {$d="\\SBS02\Userdata\"+$_.logonname ; Set-QADUser $_.dn -
HomeDirectory $d -HomeDrive "H"}

If Set-QADUser can handle input selection like that, your only problem is
that $_.logonname needs evaluation since it is in quotes:

Get-qaduser UserName | Set-QADUser -HomeDirectory
"\\SBS02\Userdata\$($_.logonname)" -HomeDrive "H"

If it doesn't, you'll need to do this instead:

Get-qaduser UserName | %{ Set-QADUser -HomeDirectory
"\\SBS02\Userdata\$($_.logonname)" -HomeDrive "H"}

When accessing a property of an object within a string, you need to
use this notation:

Get-qaduser UserName |
Set-QADUser -HomeDirectory "\\SBS02\Userdata\$($_.logonname)" -
HomeDrive "H"

This lets PowerShell know that you want to evaluate the value inside
the parentheses and then interpolate it into the string.

As I've said in my 12:15 message

Get-qaduser UserName | Set-QADUser -HomeDirectory "\\SBS02\Userdata\$
($_.logonname)" -HomeDrive "H"

This one doesn't work

Try this:

Get-QADUser userName | foreach { Set-QADUser $_ -HomeDirectory "\\SBS02\Userdata\$($_.logonname)"
-HomeDrive "L" }

Sorry, the way the line broke I didn't notice the first $. Shay's
answer is what I would recommend.

Is there a powershell command, to change the way the line are break in
google newsgroup ? :-)
