Symlink created with mklink not working with IIS7.5 — Windows 7

Question

So while in my IIS root directory (c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot) I\'ve created a symlink to a network drive using:

mdlink /D truthuniversal \"U:\\Truth Universal Full Site\\

Answer 1

You need to create a virtual directory mapping to that directory in IIS in order for it to serve up the page. In IIS, right click on "Default Website", then click "Add Virtual Directory". Also, doing this, there is no reason why you even need the symlink. Just map it to the target to begin with.
