The following makes me VERY nervous !
Due to a FOULUP with a tape restore I now have a copy of SYSVOL in active
directory on the administrators desktop and in the SYSVOL scripts folder. It
is preventing further good tape backups.
I need to break these junctions and remove the 'duplicates' without
corrupting the real SYSVOL and killing the server.
LINKD or DELRP or SysInternals JUNCTION.EXE are supposed to do the same
thing however I cannot find sufficient information to reassure me that I can
do what I need and will not damage the server.

When you move or copy sysvol it may create a new junction point to the new
location while maintaining the correct junction. There is a utility called
linkd.exe on Windows 2000 that will allow you to view, add and delete
junction points.

To view the current links run:
linkd c:\winnt\sysvol\sysvol\domain.com

Look for the link that is not valid and use linkd /d source to delete it.

You can create the correct junction by typing "Linkd
c:\winnt\sysvol\sysvol\<fully qualified domain name> c:\winnt\sysvol\domain

I am, to put it mildly, very confused.
When I check the related folders, no junction points are shown.
If I generate a junction point it shows up in the directory listing as a
JUNCTION rather than a DIR.
The unwanted view on the desktop and in the SCRIPTS folder only show up as a
DIR yet they are all views of the same location. Even the active directory
on the sister server shows the same content.
What is the difference between these special folders and other junction
objects?
If LINKD or JUNCTION say there are no linked folders yet a change in any of
the images of the folders shows up in all, therefore they are one and the
same, what tools do I need to break this imaging.

This is not acting like a mount or junction point so there can only be an
active_directory setting to cause this. I don't have that level of
expertise.
