Hi,
I am trying to copy a Windows 10 directory from one PC to another.
I included symlinks as "As link", I run FFS as admin, but I still get:
ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD: A required privilege is not held by the client. [CreateSymbolicLink]
What can I do to make it work?
Cannot copy symbolic link

Probably this: https://superuser.com/questions/1516282/mklink-fails-to-create-symlink-on-network-drive
On the network share host, you need to specifically allow a client/user the permission to create a symlink.

I already gave all the available permissions, full control to everyone.

You obviously did not read the content in the link I posted.

My bad, I thought that I understood your post, and I did not!
I went on the machine hosting the network share as explained, and set up the "m1" user account that is in use on both the source and the recipient.
I also did it on the local machine running FFS.
That did not help. Worse: it erased the existing links on the C7 share, without being able to recreate them.
UAC is disabled, and "fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation R2R:1" did not help either.
"m1" is an admin.
