Problems saving office documents to dynamic link folders.

Apologies for the oversight. You are absolutely right; providing access to confidential systems is not advisable. Freelancers should test the solution in their own setup. Here's the revised project description: Title: Troubleshoot Office Document Saving Issue with mklink in SharePoint Description: Our company is facing a specific issue concerning the saving of office documents (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to subfolders in SharePoint when using the mklink command to create symbolic links. This problem is unique to Microsoft Office applications, as all other programs work seamlessly with the mklink setup. We are seeking an experienced freelancer with expertise in Microsoft Office applications, Windows command line, and troubleshooting to address this issue. Problem Description: When attempting to save office documents to subfolders within SharePoint libraries, we encounter errors and unexpected behavior, which are only observed when mklink symbolic links are involved. The problem appears to be limited to Microsoft Office applications, while other programs do not experience any issues when using the same symbolic links. Required Tasks: 1. Reproduce the Issue: - The freelancer will test the mklink setup with Microsoft Office applications in their own system to replicate the issue consistently. 2. Isolate the Office-Specific Problem: - Analyze the error messages or unexpected behavior encountered when saving office documents to the subfolders linked with mklink. - Determine if the problem is consistent across all Microsoft Office applications or if it's specific to certain applications (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint). 3. Troubleshoot the Office-Specific Issue: - Investigate Microsoft Office settings and configurations to identify any compatibility issues with symbolic links created by mklink. - Research and apply potential fixes or workarounds specifically for the office documents saving problem. 4. Propose Solutions: - Based on the investigation, provide a list of potential solutions or workarounds to resolve the office document saving issue while retaining the use of mklink symbolic links. - Explain the pros and cons of each proposed solution and their potential impact on the Microsoft Office applications. 5. Documentation: - Provide detailed documentation of the troubleshooting process, including steps taken, changes made, and any issues encountered during the resolution. - Create clear instructions for the company's IT team to follow, based on the proposed solutions, in case of future occurrences of a similar problem. Requirements: - Proven experience with troubleshooting Microsoft Office applications, particularly with saving and file management functions. - Proficiency in Windows command line, specifically in using mklink to create symbolic links. - Strong problem-solving and debugging skills to identify the root cause of the office document saving issue. Submission: Interested freelancers are requested to submit their proposals outlining their relevant experience, proposed solution approach, and any previous similar projects that demonstrate their ability to handle this type of issue. As the freelancer will be testing the solution in their own setup, access to our company's system will not be provided. Confidentiality and data security are of utmost importance, and the freelancer must adhere to our company's data protection policies throughout the project.
