Link to server 2008 Shares
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. I can do it in the reverse 2008 > 2003 with MKLINK but i need it to go from 2003 folder to a 2008 folder. Linkd will only do "local" files/folders.
So when a user clicks on there normal share on the 2003 server they are actually viewing the share on the 2008 server.
Ideas?

I believe you can only junction on the local NTFS partition. I need this to be across a UNC path:
from: D:\share to \\remoteserver\share
from: D:\share to \\remoteserver\share
You could probably also do it with a mapped drive.

I need it to be transparent to the end user.
Wouldn't mapping \\remoteserver\share to a network drive on the 2k3 box then junctioning it work?
Effectively making the share a local drive therefore "junctionable"? (dunno if that'd work)
