Kate, can you login directly to support.emc.com and use search to access the article? Sometimes removing old cookies from emc.com helps.  Only some parts of the KB article are "Windows" specific, but it also gives and in-depth backgound of symlinks in SMBs and pre-SMB2 protocols plus related quirks and tweaks in OneFS, such as  isi_gconfig registry.Services.lwio.Parameters.Drivers.onefs.SMB2Symlinks  It is definitely a good starting point for understanding symlinks with other SMB/SMB2 clients connected to an Isilon.  -- Peter
Seen on Isilon version 7.  On one filer if we mount with smb version 1.0 then symlinks appear as directories and not symlinks.  When we mount with smb version 2.0 or higher then we see symlinks.  On another filer no matter which version we mount with the symlinks appear as directories.    I'm guessing there is an Isilon property that is causing this behavior.  Any help greatly appreciated.
Symlinks appearing as directories when mounting with smb protocol higher then 1
