The PowerShell Script given below will create a subsite with the blank template and multiple document libraries, using custom template.

In my case, custom template name is Farm Template.

Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell".

  1. #create a subsite using blank Template
  3. $WebAppUrl="https://SharePoint.com/Sites/TEST"
  5. #->SubSite1<-
  6. $SubSiteTitle1 = "Subsite"
  7. $SubSite1Url = "Subsite"
  8. New-SPWeb –url $WebAppUrl"/"$SubSite1Url -name $SubSiteTitle1 -Template "STS#1" –AddToTopNav –UseParentTopNav
  10. #load the custom template to new subsite
  12. $site = Get-SPSite https://SharePoint.com/Sites/TEST
  13. $web = Get-SpWeb https://SharePoint.com/Sites/TEST/Subsite
  15. $custTemplate = $site.GetCustomListTemplates($web)
  17. #Verify the custom template name
  19. $custTemplate | select name
  21. write-host "Loading powershell module" -ForegroundColor Red
  23. # specify the source and destination sites
  24. $sourceWeb = "https://SharePoint.com/Sites/TEST";
  25. $DestinationWeb = "https://SharePoint.com/Sites/TEST/Subsite";
  28. # get the source and destination sites web objects
  29. $sourceWebObj = Get-SPWeb $sourceWeb;
  30. $DestinationWebObj = Get-SPWeb $DestinationWeb;
  32. #creating new document libraries using custom template.
  34. $listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::"FarmTemplate"
  35. $DestinationWebObj.Lists.Add("01","My Doc Library",$custTemplate["FarmTemplate"]);
  36. $DestinationWebObj.Lists.Add("02","My Doc Library",$custTemplate["FarmTemplate"]);
  37. $DestinationWebObj.Lists.Add("03","My Doc Library",$custTemplate["FarmTemplate"]);
  38. $DestinationWebObj.Lists.Add("04","My Doc Library",$custTemplate["FarmTemplate"]);
  39. $DestinationWebObj.Lists.Add("05","My Doc Library",$custTemplate["FarmTemplate"]);

You can add as many document libraries as you want.

I hope this helps.
