I am trying to get a symlink 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? The local machine is running windows 7 and the remote machine is running windows server 2008 R2 standard.
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 – 2013-08-28T20:15:07.843
