Create Shared Folder using PowerShell

Here in this below sample script am creating multiple Shared folder which are given in a "userlist.txt" where the "userlist.txt" acts as a source file with the data which will hold the names of the folder to be created.

  2. $UserList = "E:\VJ\userlist.txt"  
  3. #provide the directory path where you need to create a new folders to the variable $folderpath  
  4. $folderpath = "E:\VJ\Test\"

  6. foreach($user in $Users)  
  7. {   
  8. #Below command wil create new folders
