I recently deployed symlinks in a DFS file share deployment (symlink /D). I started receiving "The create operation stopped after reaching a symbolic link" on some client machines. I am not able to find any information on what this error actually means or what should be done to remedy it. Does anybody have any suggestions on possible solutions or additional troubleshooting steps I should take?
Environment:
- Windows 7 x64 Clients
- Windows Server 2008 x86 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file share using DFS folder Targets (2) and DFSr replication (2) (although the error started before I created additional folder targets, but after I enabled folder replication.)
- I've only been able to reproduce the error with a few clients connecting to the Windows Server 2008 x86 Server.
- The connection is over a WAN link
