Windows Server 2012 File name too long

windows-server-2012

I am trying to copy a file on a share located on the Server 2012, but it keep trowing me an error – the file name is too long.
It is true that the path exceeds 255 characters, but I tough that this issue is long lost with the previous versions of Windows Server.

  • Is there some solution on the problem without shortening the file name path ?

The network share length issue still exists. You'll need to shorten the network share name, the server name and/or change the folder structure.
