: They link specific folders (like "My Documents") to a persistent storage location so that when a VM is reset or updated, user data remains intact.
: For older legacy Windows environments (Windows 2000/XP/2003) that lack mklink , the Sysinternals Junction.exe tool is used. Command : junction.exe [JunctionDirectory] [JunctionTarget] . Administration via Command Line (xe CLI) Xenclient Create Junction Point
Junction points in XenClient serve as advanced redirects that bridge virtual file systems: : They link specific folders (like "My Documents")
In the context of , the "Create Junction Point" feature is primarily used within OS Profiles to redirect file access from a virtual machine's local drive (typically the C: drive) to a different location, such as a persistent user data drive (U: drive). Administration via Command Line (xe CLI) Junction points
: Per-user junctions ensure backward compatibility for applications that expect standard Windows folder structures (e.g., redirecting C:\Users\username\My Documents to a modern Documents folder). Creation Methods
: File access is redirected automatically by the system; applications still "see" the files in their expected C: drive location even though they are physically stored on a different volume.
