16.1 What are the guidelines for creating or managing junctions?

  • Junctions can exist between the source and target volumes within the same or different DFS management contexts.

  • When creating a junction, a new folder can be created. This functionality is exclusive to UMC.

  • Only eDirectory users can be added as trustees to a junction.

  • Both the junction and target locations inherit trustees and their rights relative to their actual locations, following the OES Trustee Model. Using the Sync functionality, you can synchronize the explicit rights of a junction between the source and target locations. For more information on trustee rights, see What are the various trustee rights?.
