The symbolic link cannot be followed because its type is disabled

When access a symbolic link on a file server, sometimes you may see the following error:

"The symbolic link cannot be followed because its type is disabled"

This is because by default remote to remote symbolic links are disabled.
You can enable it with fsutil.

C:\Windows\system32>fsutil behavior query SymlinkEvaluation
