Hi Keith,
from the GNU cp(1) manmage:

  -d      same as --no-dereference --preserve=links

  -P, --no-dereference
          never follow symbolic links in SOURCE

  --preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
          preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,time‐
          stamps),  if  possible  additional  attributes:  context, links,
          xattr, all

  -p      same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps

  -R, -r, --recursive
          copy directories recursively


As far as I understand the BSD cp(1) manpage, symlinks are preserved
iff the -R option is specified, hence the -d option shouldn't be needed.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
