Replicate 2005 folder structure for 2006 (subdirectories without files)

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi,
We have a Windows server where my colleagues save their files in an orderly
fashion.
For one department, the folder structure goes something like this : (vastly
simplified for clarity)
\Server
\Marketing
\2003
\2004
\2005

Inside each year's folder, there is another structure, like this :
\A
\B ...
\X
and each one of these folders has it's own little gaggle of subfolders, some
of them are 7 or 8 layers deep.

Now it is 2006 and someone has to replicate the folder structure .. without
the files.
The department manager doesn't want to do it and neither do I.
Anyone know of a script that can accomplish that, safely ?
TIA.

No need for a script.
Found the answer in DOS !
xcopy /T source target

Yesterday I was Whiz Dunbar.
Today I can't even remember.
Tomorow I'll be someone else.
Maybe a bit paranoid.
Maybe just cautious.
Maybe I don't want my nosey boss to find out that I am not omniscient.

Sorry, there must be some other real Dunbars out there.
