Answer 2

Yes it is possible to create Document Set Content Types via Powershell.

Normally you would add these Content Types to the root of your Site Collection.

Hey Andre,

Can you post the Powershell script that may achieve creating Document Sets?

Answer 4

Hi Trent,

I’m a little not clear about your description, do you mean that you want to create multiple site content types based on Document Set Content Type?

If so, here is a PowerShell code example about “Create a SharePoint 2010 Content Type”, for more information, please refer to:

Thank you Qiao, that is what I was looking for; I was trying to use the wrong .NET Class which is what my mistake was in Powershell. Thank you, much appreciated.
