we are close to getting our new server install (2nd week of november), and its been decided that we will completely restructure the way in which we currently save our work as its too seperate and a new central location is needed.
Im looking for an easy way to create a single folder, and within that folder it creates 15 new folders all with specific names.
We need to split down our projects into the following folders:
These are the required folders we will need for each project created. Obviously you dont want to be creating all these folders each time.
Is there any easy way this can be done without using specialist 3rd party software?
We will be using SBS 2003 shortly and also Sharepoint, but i dont know enough about either software to be able comment myself.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

why dont you just have a template version stored somewhere as read-only access. ie, justmove this into a project or user area, just copy and paste?

or store it on a protected network drive that has read--only rights for anyone less than administrator. then you dont have to faff around with folder permissions. just my 2 cents

Would a batch file not do this?
If it runs as the correct user the permissions should be OK, just loads of mkdir and cd commands?
