I think you are confusing junctions with symlinks. symlinks can point to another device (including network shares). Note, you may have to enable settings under 'fsutil behavior [query/set] SymlinkEvaluation -- I don't recall what the defaults were/are, but they control things like: /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.
