Hi All
Is there any way to identify Junctions (Directory Junction) folder details through analysis.

I couldn’t find a direct inspector for directory junction or a way to use BigFix relevance to decode them, but there is a workaround you can use to generate that kind of information and use BigFix to read such output by running some commands (see below).

Example:
dir /al /s "Drive or Directory Path"

and use the relevance below to read Junction from the file.

Q: lines whose (it as string as lowercase contains "junction") of file "junctionout.txt"
