Hi

Does anyone know the tool which you can use to have a folder in a share
actually redirecting to a another share?

For example in the root of a share \\server1\share1 there's a folder called
'Accounts' this folder is actually located at \\server2\share2.

It's just like having a shortcut but it's seamless to the user.

Thanks

I could use DFS but in the past I've seen a tool (command line I think) which
can create the 'share points'  as they are known in DFS.

I've looked in the win2k res kit and I still can't find it!!
