Reset deleted homespace

[nikes]

Hello,

By mistake we deleted a homespace of user (Exists in trashcan). And when the user tried login, new homespace got created under Company Home

Now I want to set back home space in User Homes folder.

I recovered deleted homespace from trashcan and now when I try to set it as users homes space from admin console, it shows user can not be created.

Is it possible to set existing folder as users homespace from UI?
If not how to achieve using API (Webscript or javascript)?

Thanks

I wrote this script to assign existing space as homespace.

var person = people.getPerson("userid");
var node= search.findNode("your_homespace_noderef");
node.setOwner("userid");
person.properties["cm:homeFolder"]=node;
node.save();
person.save();

Thanks.
