Maybe I’m wrong, but I didn’t think you could “preserve” a hardlink?
From a practical perspective, you’re creating a new MFT entry that points to the same data, much in the same way with linux, you’re creating a new entry that points to the same inode. When you delete the file, the data is gone, and the link is killed.. But, when you copy the file (from either MFT entry, nothing gets changed). I don’t think there’s anything to preserve? The hard link exists within the volume’s MFT so it can only point to data in the same MFT.
If you are talking about a symbolic link, that’s different. The symbolic link is just a pointer that says “go to this location for the data”. It can point to other locations, UNC paths, etc. You can also set a flag (either /SL or /SJ) in robocopy to copy the symbolic links/junctions as links/junctions, rather than copying the target of the link/junction. (It helps keep you from getting stuck in an endless loop where a link points to a directory higher in it’s own path.
If someone has more or different information I’d be interested.

Come on, don’t be so arrogant! Did you really know all options for joining a domain mentioned in this article? Do you know who is allowed to join a computer to a domain by default and which restrictions apply for standard users? And how to delegate this permission? This topic is not as trivial as one might think.

How to create an open file/folder dialog box with PowerShell 7 hours, 45 minutes agoExecution hangs up on usage of ShowDialog() under PowerShell 7 for me; it just stalls out. Another colleague does not have the same issue in PowerShell 7. Works fine in PowerShell 5.1 though. Any ideas? Been searching high and low and not sure why it stalls out upon executing ShowDialog() line in PoSh7.
