Someone
asked on Super User how to create symbolic links on network shares. Trying to create one with
mklink, even after adjusting symlink evaluation settings with
fsutil, failed with an access-denied error. This is because Windows requires a privilege to create a symbolic link, both on the computer issuing the command and the one hosting the network share. That is, the user one connects to the share host as must hold the "create symbolic links" privilege on that host. The privilege can be assigned in the Local Security Policy snap-in (
secpol.msc).
