I'm having a problem with symbolic links in Windows 7. We control symlink evaluation with group policy (all types set to enabled). Recently we've had several different clients fail to follow a remote to remote symlink (different link in each case). Running "fsutil behavior query SymlinkEvaluation" returns results claiming that all types of symlink evaluation are enabled.

We have to run "fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation R2R:1" to get the link to work. Running the query again returns the exact same results as prior to the set command.

If anyone can suggest why this has started happening after months with the symlinks working perfectly, it'd be much appreciated.
