Xenclient Create Junction Point -
: 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.
: To link a folder to an external HDD for storage expansion: mklink /J "C:\Program Files (x86)\App" "D:\Stored_App" .
: Use the mklink command with the /j switch. Syntax : mklink /j [JunctionPath] [TargetPath] . Xenclient Create Junction Point
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).
: 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. : They link specific folders (like "My Documents")
Junction points in XenClient serve as advanced redirects that bridge virtual file systems:
While XenClient Enterprise was typically managed through a central console, manual junction points within the Windows guests running on XenClient are created using standard command-line tools: Syntax : mklink /j [JunctionPath] [TargetPath]
: 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
