I am trying to make this work:

I created a Junction folder (using the mklink /J command) to a Z: Drive pointing to FolderA on a C: drive. Then I created several HardLinks (mklink /H command) inside another C:drive folder (We're calling name folderB), This files inside B are hardlink files to FolderA files...

I know connect via Network to the Z: Drive and update files inside FolderA junction ... When I directly open the files inside FolderA on drive C they are update. But when I go to check the other Hardlinks in FolderB they are not updated...

Why is it not working?

    Ask this on Super User, and please include the exact commands you use to create the junction mountpoint and hard links, and precisely describe what the Z: drive is in all contexts. – Eryk Sun Jul 11 '19 at 22:12
  • FYI, we can't resolve a junction mountpoint to a remote device. A mountpoint on a remote volume that targets drive C: will access the remote C: drive, not the caller's local C: drive (i.e. the reparse is handled on the server side). OTOH, a symbolic link on a remote volume that targets drive C: will access the caller's local C: drive, not the remote C: drive (i.e. the reparse is handled on the client side). – Eryk Sun Jul 11 '19 at 22:16
  • Also you appear to be confusing symbolic links (a type of reparse point) with hardlinks (another reference to a file within a filesystem). The title mentions "symbiotic" [sic] links and you tagged this "symlink", but your example creates no symlinks. – Eryk Sun Jul 11 '19 at 22:16
