I haven't done much with Folder Redirection yet (gosh, I really need to), but are Junctions and Symlinks _generally_ redirected/transferred cleanly?

If you mean that symlink/junctions (done on windows with mklink) are not fully supported on Samba/remote share, yes, probably my note does not apply only to roaming profiles, i know. I'm simply curious. Google say me nothing... but probably it is my fault... -- dott.

Well, I just did a dirty test: * mklink link.txt "textfile.txt" * mklink /D DIrLink "Directory" * copied it to a samba share via Explorer (drag and drop). * copied it to a Windows share via Explorer (drag and drop). In both cases, it copied the contents of "textfile.txt" as "link.txt", definitely not a symlink (windows or otherwise). Same with "DirLink" -- contents as a new directory * Copied to a Windows share via "xcopy /B" and also "copy /L" This created a symlink on the remote filesystem, though the destination was also "local" to that filesystem and didn't exist. * Attempted to copy to a Samba share via "xcopy /B" and "copy /L" File creation error - The file or directory is not a reparse point. ---- In my not-so-clear-way, I was wondering if the synchronization process of Roaming Profiles was able to handle symlinks (by default, or otherwise). I still don't know (and your results are inconclusive), but from the above results it looks like Samba shares don't either.
