Nick Edgar commented on Bug JENKINS-18293

Danny had responded by email (before Heather's responses above):
>> This is a tricky one, since the ability to create a symbolic link can also be limited by the OS (Win 7 supports it, by requires updated user & application security settings. Win XP requires a patch). However the system and userids I’m using are set-up to allow the creation of symbolic links. Therefore it stands to reason it’s either the application security settings, or the ‘inability’ of the application.
>> Regarding the ability of the application: If you’re utilizing the (l)scm load command, it usually does create the symbolic links when we start it from the command line in a CMD file ourselves. If run the same CMD file in a Jenkins Job, it usually doesn’t. We haven’t been able to figure out why…
>> Regarding the security settings to allow creation of symlinks: Can you indicate what the (user/application security) settings should be, to allow the plugin to create symbolic links on Win7?
>> You have a good suggestion, but it’s only a workaround. We’re currently looking into it.

Hopefully the article Heather linked to above helps with the question of settings.
