Script repository

Move SharePoint folder

February 18, 2021 Views: 2159

The script moves a user's SharePoint folder to another location within the same SharePoint site. To move SharePoint folders in Adaxes, you can add the script to a business rule, custom command or scheduled task using the Run a program or PowerShell script action.

Parameters:

  • $sharePointServer - Specifies the NetBIOS name of the computer where the SharePoint Sever is homed.
  • $webApplicationURL - Specifies the URL of the SharePoint web application.
  • $sourceFolderPath - Specifies the source path of the folder.
  • $newFolderPath - Specifies the destination path of the folder.
Note: You can use value references (e.g. %username%) to insert properties of the user account in the folder paths. For example, if you specify the following path Shared Documents/Folder A/%username% and execute the script on a user whose username is jdoe, the resulting folder path will be Shared Documents/Folder A/jdoe.
