Create directory

This activity creates all directories and subdirectories in the specified path.

Create directory activity settings with the directory path in the SharePoint Workflow Designer

Any directories specified in the path are created, unless they already exist or some part of the path is invalid. The path parameter specifies a directory path, not a file path. If the directory already exists, this method does nothing.

You can create a directory on a remote computer or on a share that you have write access to. UNC paths are supported; for example, you can specify the following for the path: \\2009\Archives\December.

Creating a directory with only the colon character (:) is not supported and will cause an exception to be thrown.

SharePoint Workflow Designer Phrase
