I came across situation where I need to add the Folders and
items within that folders using PowerShell to check threshold problem. I thought adding the items more than the threshold value, PowerShell
will be ideal to run on SharePoint System.
Here is the PowerShell Script which creates 30 folders inside the Custom List and 200 items in each Folder.
Only requirement to run this Script is custom list named as “ProjectPhones”.
Note:
- You can have your own list. Just change the name in script (Highlighted)
- While running script add your Site Url as parameter where the list is situated
Add-PsSnapin
Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
# read
site url
$siteUrl=$args[0]
write-host
$siteUrl
$site =
new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($siteUrl)
write-host
$site
$web =
$site.OpenWeb()
write-host
$web
$list =
$web.Lists["ProjectPhones"]
write-host
$list
$F=1
$i=1
for($F=1;
$F -le 30; $F++)
{
write-host "Creating
folder - Folder " + $F
$folder =
$list.AddItem("",
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder)
$folder["Title"] =
"Folder" + $F
$folder.Update();
for($i=1; $i -le 200; $i++)
{
write-host
"Adding " + $i + " Item
in Folder[" + $F + "]"
$ListItem =
$list.AddItem($folder.Folder.ServerRelativeUrl,[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::File,
$null)
$ListItem["Title"]
= "PhoneNumber Folder-" + $F + "-" + $i
$ListItem.Update()
}
}
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()
