MKLINK doesn't come with XP/2003 but M$ provides junction which provides the same functionality. I think Junction was formerly a sysinternals tool:<br />

I believe you can only junction on the local NTFS partition. I need this to be across a UNC path:<br />
<br />
from: &nbsp;D:\share &nbsp;to &nbsp;\\remoteserver\share<br />
<br />

You could probably also do it with a mapped drive.

Wouldn't mapping \\remoteserver\share to a network drive on the 2k3 box then junctioning it work?<br />
Effectively making the share a local drive therefore &quot;junctionable&quot;? (dunno if that'd work)

I need to create a link from a 2003 server share to a 2008 server share that is transparent to the user without setting up a DFS. &nbsp;I can do it in the reverse 2008 &gt;&nbsp;2003 with MKLINK but i need it to go from 2003 folder to a 2008 folder. Linkd will only do &quot;local&quot; files/folders.<br />
<br />
So when a user clicks on there normal share on the 2003 server they are actually viewing the share on the 2008 server.<br />
<br />
Ideas?
