Provisioning monthly folder structure in a SharePoint list

Recently I wrote an article about folder content types in SharePoint and how they can be leveraged to improve the document management in a SharePoint document library. The comments to the article show that there is definitely interest and potential in using folder content types, but they also point out some serious omissions. SharePoint MVP Ivan Wilson has taken things to the next level in a project he independently started on CodePlex. It is a console application that allows you to generate a folder structure within a document library. It will create a folder in the root of the document library using the current year-month (e.g. "2008-05"). 

Check out Ivan's post and the project's home page, this really makes the provisioning of the folders much easier.

Dovizhdane!
