I have been working with SharePoint Designer, and have been creating workflows, but cannot seem to find a way to create a folder inside of another folder that already exists. Now, I have no problem creating a folder and then creating another one inside of it, but I need to be able to add the subfolder to a pre-existing folder. Can anyone help. I am using SharePoint Designer 2010. I keep getting the error that it could not create the list item and to make sure the list exists and the user has permissions to the list. I am the owner with all permissions and the list does exist. I can give you more details if you have specific questions. I have tried referencing the data several different ways, starting with the way in which I referenced it to create a folder and subfolder, but am having no luck. Please help.
Have you tried including the existing folder name? See this blog post for details: http://www.getinthesky.com/2012/08/creating-folders-and-sub-folders-using-sharepoint-2010-designer-workflow/
It involves creating the folder and subfolder in the same workflow, however, the parent folder must be created first anyway.

A little more context, I'm trying to use PowerShell to search through SharePoint for any files which have a particular Author.
We have an issue where if someone tries to delete a file that is authored by an ex-employee it alerts a different person that they did not have permission for the file to go to recycle bin for some reason and makes them permanently delete it instead. Below is a link of what they get:
Microsoft won't support it as they say they won't supply custom scripts so I was wondering if anyone here had any ideas?
I am trying to move document libraries, from one site collection to another and retain of the metadata such as Modified By, Date Modified etc.
I have tried using the 'move' function within SharePoint 2013 Content and Structure but unfortunately this doesn't extend to across site collections.
I have tried multiple PowerShell scripts they successfully copy the file from one Site Collection to another but do not retain the metadata.
Any ideas, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
have you tried saving the library as a template? You can mark the template to keep the contents.
Then you can deploy a new library from that template (Site actions / More options / Template name), and after that delete the template.
Additionally you can move it between servers. Go to the Site settings, there to the template gallery and download the template you just created. Now you can move it to another server or application.
Hope it helps.
Take a look at the SharePoint migration tools. Some of them offer free trials for limited amounts of data.
I've gotten comfortable using icacls to add people to file folders but now I am having trouble figuring out how to do the following:
on a folder with many children, g
get the existing permissions on the folder and store them
Add a bunch of new users, propogating to all children and turning on inheritance, replace and force (already working from previous scripts)
check the top level folder and remove any permissions not placed on in step 2.
now that the parent folder has the correct permissions and all children have inheritance set, set all children to have the same permissions as the parent (recompute acl inheritance?)
thanks for any help you all can provide, I just need a push to get into the right direction.
If you're using PowerShell, you don't need icacls (which returns text instead of objects) since you have have Get-Acl and Set-Acl. However, the help for those two commands is severely lacking, so I recommend supplementing with the .NET framework.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730951.aspx is a very good article on ACLs using the .NET framework in PowerShell. If you need more in depth information on System.Security.AccessControl, go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.accesscontrol.aspx.
I have created the folder programmatically and it is appearing in google drive. Now I want to add files to the folder created. File is getting created but inside root folder. I don't want that to happen.
Thanks
Do you setParent when you create the file info? It's a ParentReference added in the file info used in the insert requests. All you need to create the parent reference is the id of the parent (the folder you created) (and maybe a flag to note whether it's the root or not).
I'm trying to figure out where does webistrano keep its custom recipes (I want to copy them), and I can't seem to locate them. I've scoured the installation folder on the server to no avail.
Does anyone know where they are kept?
They were stored in its backend database.
Recipes created inside the admin interface are stored in the database. The recipes table holds the information for the recipe and the revision to be executed on, include the actual code for the current version. The recipe_versions holds a complete copy of each version of the recipe.
The project types (templates) are created inside the repository at lib/webistrano/template/
