title: Creating symbolic links in PHP/IIS 8 when using the new Application Pool Identity feature
body: <p>I'm running IIS 8, Server 2012.  I have a web application where the programmers want to create symbolic links.  Here is some sample code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$target = 'symlink.php';
  $link = 'symlink-link.php';
  
  symlink($target, $link);
  echo readlink($link);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PHP Warning:  symlink(): Cannot create symlink, error code(1314) in E:\...\test.php on line 7
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've granted the "IIS APPPOOL\apppooluser"  NTFS modify permissions.
  I've granted the user rights assignment to the same user of 'Create symbolic Links'.</p>
  
  <p>I cannot get this application to create links.  Any suggestions?  Is it impossible using IIS APP POOLs?</p>
