Robert is wrong. Remotely mklink DOES work. Here is the solution:

Run command prompt as admin and then run this command:

fsutil behavior query SymlinkEvaluation

If you see message "Remote to remote symbolic links are disabled.", then run this command:

fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation R2R:1

After that, you can run

mklink /d \\myserver\SomeDir\SomeLink \\myserver\SomeOtherDir\MyDir
