I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction regarding my situation. I am migrating data from Samba to a Windows File server. In this file server each user gets their own personal share as well as departmental/Group share. Rather than creating a ridiculous amount of folder shortcuts, I would like to create symbolic links to these group folders. Is there a way to do this via command line, maybe in Power Shell? Whatever help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

From the command line you can use the "fsutil hardlink create" option which pretty much sucks because if the link is altered in any way it breaks. The best way to tackle this mess is to use plain old short cuts. You can mass create shortcuts using the simple vbscript as follows.
strGroupSharePath = "C:\folder name"

strDescription = "Properties Comment"
