According to edit rights I have SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege (when checking via an elevated shell - i.e. with "Run as Administrator"): ┌─┤ csutclif AT bmotec3017201lt ├──┤ ~ │ └─┤ 14:11 ├─>> editrights -u $USER -l SeLockMemoryPrivilege SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege However, if I try and create a native symlink it still fails. If using the winsymlink:native option I get a "cygwin" symlink, winln pops up a message stating I need the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege. Not sure if it's relevant or not, but the $USER in this case is a domain user, not a local user.
