ICACLS: How to operate on Directory Junction target (mounted volume)?

guys,

need little icacls.

how change volume permission using icacls?

the volume mounted folder c:\d (aka junction)

dir c:\

<junction>     d [\??\volume{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}\]

 

icacls \\?\volume{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}\ changes permission on volume.

icacls c:\d changes permission on folder c:\d, not volume mounted there.

 

icacls has switch operate on symbolic link (i.e. a directory symbolic link)

    /l indicates operation performed on symbolic link versus target.

 

is there switch directory junction?

i assume, default supposed operate on target kind of links, doesn’t...

how tell icacls operate on directory junction target?
