Hi,
Create a csv file with the below columns
path name
\Contractors\ABC Test
now, lets name the file test.csv, place it in "c" drive and run the below command in exchange management shell.
Import-csv "c:\test.csv" | foreach-object { New-PublicFolder -Name $_.Name -Path $_.Path }
Thanks

Hi,
This command has to be run in exchange management shell. We cannot run this on exchange 2003 server.
Thanks

Agree with Shiv. There’s no method that can accomplish such task in the exchange 2003 natively.
You can try to do it by using the script, please refer to the resources below:
