Title is hopefully pretty self explanatory but I've written up an example anyway:
I have a folder
C:\SharedFolder\ReallyBigFolderThatWontFitAnyMore
I need to move folder to other server but can't touch the clients, so I move the folder to another server and create create a symbolic link.
C:\SharedFolder\> mklink /d ReallyBigFolderThatWontFitAnyMore \\other-server\share\FolderThatFits
Now locally (ie. on that box), everything works really well. Unfortunately as discovered in this other question Vista and greater clients by default have remote symbolic link resolution disabled and prior to Vista, didn't have client side resolution at all.
So the question is, can the link resolution be done server side, or if not is there some way to override the restriction without modifying the client.
My gut says no, but SO.com is smarter than me. Hopefully.
