Converting the FileSystemObject's CreateFolder Method
.jpg)
Definition: Creates a new folder.
You can create a folder with the New-Item cmdlet. This example creates a new folder named temp2 as a subfolder of the C:\Scripts folder.
New-Item -path c:\scripts\ -name temp2 -type directory
Notice we specified the -type parameter with a value of directory. This tells New-Item we’re creating a folder and not a file.
If the folder already exists you’ll receive an error. To create the folder even if it already exists, use the -force parameter:
New-Item -path c:\scripts\ -name temp2 -type directory -force
You can also use the mkdir alias, but if the folder exists you’ll receive an error message, with no way to override that:
mkdir c:\scripts\temp2
