Check:
======================
On server
1. please run the following command in DOS window:
dir g:\windows\sysvol\sysvol
If the junction is okay, we should see something like:
04/07/2004 02:47p <DIR> .
04/07/2004 02:47p <DIR> ..
04/07/2004 02:47p <JUNCTION> mydomain.com
2. Then run the following command again in DOS window:
dir g:\windows\SYSVOL\staging areas
If the junction is okay, we should see something like:
04/07/2004 02:47p <DIR> .
04/07/2004 02:47p <DIR> ..
04/07/2004 02:47p <JUNCTION> mydomain.com
In the same way, please check other DCs
Action:
=====================
If the junction does be missing, please perform the following actions:
1. On the Dc in DOS window, go to g:\windows\SYSVOL folder.
2. There should be 4 folders under it: domain, staging, staging areas &
sysvol.
3. Enter the sysvol sub folder (that is, now you're at
\windows\Sysvol\Sysvol. Delete all files and folders under that folder.
Then create a folder named mydomain.com
4. Launch Command Prompt, type this
linkd "g:\windows\sysvol\sysvol\mydomain.com" "g:\windows\sysvol\domain"
5. Type "dir g:\windows\sysvol\sysvol", you should see something like:
04/07/2004 02:47p <DIR> .
04/07/2004 02:47p <DIR> ..
04/07/2004 02:47p <JUNCTION> mydomain.com
As long as you see <JUNCTION>, it's right.
6. Now go to g:\windows\sysvol\staging folder, there should be a folder
named "domain". If not , create it.
7. Go to g:\windows\sysvol\staging areas folder, delete all files and
folders under it. Then create a folder named mydomain.com
8. Launch Command Prompt, type this:
linkd "g:\Windows\SYSVOL\staging areas\mydomain.com"
"g:\windows\SYSVOL\staging\domain"
9. After the command finishes, type this one:
dir "g:\windows\SYSVOL\staging areas"
You should see something like:
04/07/2004 02:47p <DIR> .
04/07/2004 02:47p <DIR> ..
04/07/2004 02:47p <JUNCTION> mydomain.com
As long as you see <JUNCTION>, it's OK.

are not linked to each other. Searching the internet, I found out that you
can use the LinkD command to create junction points between the files but
it's not working. Here is what I did......
LinkD D:\windows\sysvol\sysvol\mydomain.com D:\windows\sysvol\domain
I know the source folder has to be empty and I also tried it the other way
around and didn't work. Please help!!!
