Trying to create link on file share using: mklink /D "\fileshare\dest\folder_link" "\fileshare\dest\folder" (under Admin)
But it gives access denied, tried to run fsutil, but no success :(
fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation R2R:1
C:\Windows\system32>fsutil behavior query SymlinkEvaluation
Local to local symbolic links are enabled.
Local to remote symbolic links are enabled.
Remote to local symbolic links are enabled.
Remote to remote symbolic links are enabled.

So it appeared to be GPO policy for linking not set on the machine that was hosting the fileshare.
secpol.msc, Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Create symbolic
