Hi Volker, you can also use a windows 11 install as the SMB server.

Would a Windows 11 installation as an SMB server also do it for you?
That's more handily accessible for me.

Thanks,

Volker

Frame 15 reopens the file with OPEN_REPARSE_POINT. The FileAttributes field in Frame 16 shows this, but the "flags" field according to [ms-smb2] 2.2.14 is 0.
