Powershell create folder if it does not exist

Powershell create folder if it does not exist on any windows computer, there is a simple code that we need to put in your script to create a folder when it doesn’t exist, here the code follows.

When we have a requirement to create a folder on single or multiple computers when it doesn’t exist, then here is the simple Powershell code that creates a folder.

Note: This script creates a folder if it doesn’t exist,  it does not override if a folder already exists.

$path = "C:\temp\NewFolder"

If(!(test-path $path))
{
      New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $path 
}

Create a Folder on Multiple Computers.

let’s see how we can write the code to create a folder on multiple computers.

When you have a requirement to Copy files on multiple remote machines with a new folder then we need to write the script this way.

We need to create a file for storing all the servers or multiple machines list, I named itas Allservers.txt for and saved it in my local machine c:\temp\Allservers.txt

$Allserers = get-content -path "C:\temp\Allservers.txt"

 

foreach ($server in $allservers)
{

$path = “\\$servver\C$\temp\NewFolder”
If(!(test-path $path))
{
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $path
copy-item “\\mysserver\data” -destination “\\$servver\C$\temp\NewFolder”
}
}
