Powershell Script:

$uri="http://serverName:10736/sites/ECT2/_vti_bin/Imaging.asmx?wsdl"
## $listName is a string that contains the picture library name in which new folder has to be created 
$listName="PL1"
## $strParentFolder is a string that contains the parent folder relative path inside which you need to create the new folder
## For example if you want to create a folder inside the folder specify the relative path from the root of the list to the parent folder.
$strParentFolder=""

## Web Service Reference - http://Site/_vti_bin/Imaging.asmx

If a folder named "New folder" already exists in the specified folder, the CreateNewFolder method tries to create "New folder(1)", "New folder(2)", and so on.
