Type command below: RUNAS /USER:JIM "MKLINK /D PE G:\PE" Result: Attempting to start MKLINK /D PE G:\PE as user "JIM-PC\JIM" ... RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - MKLINK /D PE G:\PE 1327: Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwo rds not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enfor ced. User name Jim belongs to administrator in my local machine, whose passwd is empty. Question: How can I create symlink of dir in command line? (I can't use "Run as administrator" context menu.) Thanks, JimJim King

Jim, Set a password for your account JIM and try again. Kind Regards DFTIM me - TWiTTer: @DFTER

My script is a tool for developers. I can't assume what user name is or whether there is a passwd. Now the script copies files from source machine to destination machine. What I want is not to copy but create a simple symlink of dir. Is it possible to do it easily? Thanks, Jim KingJim King
