Mklink Access Denied Network Share
working over a network drive. I have already tried suggestions on questions already asked, such as running as administrator and checking if the directory already exists. Unfortunately it still gives me the following error: C:\Windows\system32>mklink /d \\myserver\SomeDir\SomeLink \\myserver\SomeOtherDir\MyDir Access is denied. Where SomeLink is the link I am attempting to create and Mydir is the directory I am trying to create it on. Any ideas how I could get this working?

Remotely mklink DOES work. Here is the solution: Run command prompt as admin and then run this command: fsutil behavior query SymlinkEvaluation If you see message "Remote to remote symbolic links are disabled.", then run this command: fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation R2R:1 After that, you can run mklink /d \\myserver\SomeDir\SomeLink \\myserver\SomeOtherDir\MyDir share|improve this answer answered Aug 28 '13 at 19:49 Anup 11614 Well, ill be damned, it works. Good first answer, welcome to SuperUser! I hope your future answers are as informative as this one. (FYI to people using this, the network link worked fine for me, but I had another person connect to the remote machine from his machine, they could see the link but got a permissions error when they tried to follow it) –Scott Chamberlain Aug 28 '13 at 20:15 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote By default mklink only affects the local computer. Remote manipulations are not possible in that case. Therefore if you want to add a symbolic directory link on a remote machine try to execute mklink.exe via PsExec on the remote server, then using the local directory path of the two di

You can: Create hard links that use the same file name as the original file but appear in different http://windowsitpro.com/windows/jsi-tip-10153-windows-xp-fsutilexe-hardlink-create-command folders. Create hard links that use different file names from the original file but appear in the same folder. Create hard links that use different file names from the original file and appear in different folders. Because a hard link is a directory entry for a file, an application can modify a file by using any of its hard links. Applications that use any other hard link can detect the changes. However, directory entries for hard links are updated only when a user accesses a file by using the hard link. For example, if a user opens and modifies a file by using its hard link, and the size of the original file changes, the hard link that is used to access the file also shows the new size. NTFS updates the properties of a hard link only when a user accesses the original file by using the hard link, NOT every time a user makes a change to the original file. Hard links do not have security descriptors; instead, the security descriptor belongs to the original file to which the hard link points. Thus, if you change the security descriptor of any hard link, you actually change

As Admin, run secpol.msc and grant this account Create Symbolic Link permissions. runas /user:guest cmd to open a command window as the guest. only to get caught on the simplest problem: because I was running as guest, I didn't have write permissions within the directory. So, As admin, change permissions in the target directory (where you want to make the link) to give write access to the non-admin user. share|improve this answer edited Aug 28 '12 at 19:35 Mihai Iorga 28.2k105479 answered Aug 28 '12 at 14:59 Mark Kreitler 362 If I can mkdir foo, is that indicative that I have the necessary permissions?

It will list the registry keys pointing to the stripped filenames but will not modify the affected registry keys. Stripping will not be performed on any files with full path names longer than the maximum path length of 260 chars. **WARNING** If there are affected registry keys and you use the override switch /f it is recommended that you backup your volume as it may lead to unexpected application failures including the inability to uninstall. /t - Test mode, perform all operations except the actual stripping of filenames. /s - Recurse all subdirectories /f - Force, Strip the directory 8.3 filenames even if there are registry conflicts. /v - Verbose mode, output log to the console. /l - Specify an output log file, if not specified this will default to "%temp%\8dot3_removal_log@(GMT YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS)" EXAMPLE: fsutil 8dot3name strip /l SS64.log /s D:\datafiles File system Behavior options: FSUTIL behavior query option FSUTIL behavior set option Where option is one of: AllowExtChar {0|1} Allow extended characters in filenames BugcheckOnCorrupt {0|1} Enable bugcheck # DisableCompression {0|1} Disable compression # DisableEncryption {0|1} Disable encryption # DisableDeleteNotify {0|1} SSD TRIM Delete notifications for all volumes# DisableLastaccess {0|1} Don’t generate last-access times Disable8dot3 [volumePath] sfnNum sfnNum is between 0 and 3 0 = Create short file names (default). 1 = don’t create short file names. 2 = Set 8.3 names on a per volume basis. 3
