How to create Content Organizer rules through powershell in sharepoint 2010?

Question

I have a bunch of doc libraries. I need to create content organizer rules for these 2000 libraries through powershell? Any help will be appreciated. I also have to fill the condition string.

Answer 1

You can PowerShell script to create a content organizer rule. It uses Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.RecordsRepository.EcmDocumentRouterRule

[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite]$site = Get-SPSite http://www.mycompany.com
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb]$web = Get-SPWeb http://www.mycompany.com
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContentType]$ct = $site.RootWeb.ContentTypes["MyContentType"]
[Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.RecordsRepository.EcmDocumentRouterRule]$rule = New-Object Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.RecordsRepository.EcmDocumentRouterRule($web)

$rule.Aliases = $ct.Name
$rule.ConditionsString = "<conditions></conditions>"
$rule.CustomRouter = ""
$rule.Name = $ct.Name
$rule.Description = "Routes '" + $ct.Name + "' documents to it's own library"
$rule.ContentTypeString = $ct.Name
$rule.RouteToExternalLocation = $false
$rule.Priority = "5"
$rule.TargetPath = $web.Lists["MyLibrary"].RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl
$rule.Enabled = $true
$rule.Update()
