On Windows you can create symlinks

  • either if you start the programm, you want to create a symlink in (e.g. cmd), as Administrator.
  • or if you give your user/usergroup the permission to create symlinks (here is an explanation, how to do this).

The second way is not working for me, when the user, whom I want to give the permission, is an administrator. Is there a solution for this issue?

Thx

    Thank you for info about creating links, but it doesn't give any answert to my question. – automatix Feb 11 '13 at 07:32
  • @automatix Thx, I edit it. – STTR Feb 11 '13 at 09:33
  • I think, you mean exactly the same way, that is descripted here and what I've linked to in my initial post (http://i.stack.imgur.com/MsSyK.png). Right? So, as I've already said -- that does NOT work for admin users. – automatix Feb 11 '13 at 13:56
  • What makes your case DSQUERY USER -name avex | DSGET USER -memberof -expand thx! – STTR Feb 11 '13 at 16:43
  • That provide effective law. Do not redefined LSDOU? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd277394.aspx – STTR Feb 11 '13 at 18:08
  • The commandos dsquery and dsget cannot be found. avex ist administrator (group "administrators"). – automatix Feb 11 '13 at 22:40
  • LSDOU? "It’s group policy inheritance model, where the policies are applied to Local machines, Sites, Domains and Organizational Units." (http://dev.fyicenter.com/Interview-Questions/Computer-Security-2/What_is_LSDOU.html) Right? I think, I have not changed it. – automatix Feb 11 '13 at 22:46
  • Can you create symlinks (e.g. mklink /D linkfolder targetfolder) on your system as admin user? I don't mean the case, when you're working on CMD, after you have opened it with the option "Start programm as Administrator". I mean, when you are logged in as a user of the group " Administrators" and use/start CMD (or another programm, that you create a symlink with) "normally". – automatix Feb 11 '13 at 22:52
