Hi Samba List, I believe I need to create a "Junction Point" on a Windows XP Pro machine that will seamlessly link up to a Samba Share on a Linux Server.
>From my understanding, the creation of a "Junction Point" will hide from an application the fact that the "space referenced by that junction point" is actually located someplace else. While it is possible to create an "NTFS Junction Point" in Windows that links up to a completely separate local drive (that is, a drive connected to the same Windows XP Pro machine), it is NOT possible to create an "NTFS Junction Point" that links up to a network share. But it seems it IS possible to create a "DFS Junction Point" inside Windows that links up to a Samba Share. Is that true? If so, will Windows applications truly not know that the storage space is on a network drive? And if so, can anybody recommend a straightforward "how-to" on setting up DFS on the Samba side?
