For information about the settings for junction properties, junction trustees, and target trustees, see Section 11.1, Understanding DFS Junctions.
Make sure you have met the requirements specified in Section 9.4.4, Junctions.
In iManager, click Distributed File Services > Create Junction.
In Junction, configure the junction properties:
Specify the name of the junction.
Browse to locate and select the NSS volume where you want to create the junction, then click OK.
The volume name is entered in the Volume field in the typeless fully distinguished name format, such as servername_volname.context. The volume name is automatically entered in the Path field in a common format, such as volname:\.
In Path, add an existing directory path where you want to create the junction, or leave only the volume name to create the junction at the root of the volume. Do not include the junction name in the directory path.
If the specified directory path does not exist, this process does not create it for you. Cancel this process, create the directory path that you want to use on the source volume, then try again to create a junction.
In Target, configure the target location properties for the junction.
Browse to locate and select the NSS volume where you want the junction to point, then click OK.
The volume name is entered in the Volume field in the typeless fully distinguished name format, such as servername_volname.context.
In Path, type an existing directory path where you want the junction to point, or leave the field empty to point at the root of the volume.
If the specified directory path does not exist, this process does not create it for you. Cancel this process, create the directory path that you want to use on the target volume, then try again to create a junction.
Click OK to accept the target location.
Active Directory users:
Use NFARM or Rights utility to set trustees. For more information, see OES File Access Rights Management (NFARM).

Click Next to proceed to the Trustees page, then configure the file system trustee rights for the junction and target locations.
If any part of the junction properties are invalid, an error message displays. You must start over by clicking Create Junction.
IMPORTANT:To avoid file visibility and security issues, you should set the file system trustee rights for the junction and target locations when you create the junction.
Click Finish to save your settings and create the junction.
Click OK to dismiss the confirmation message.
