A user of mine is running into an error when trying to save files, his errors says the directory does not support long file names, researching online the max length is 255(or 260 depending on who you ask).<br />
<br />
Anyhow I went to our file server navigated from the F: (storage) to the folder, the file path length to folder is 123 chars according, and I dont imagine his file name is more then 100 chars. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
So the question is, why would he be getting this error?<br />
<br />
attached is the path to folder he saving in for confirmation of length.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Max File Path Length=255?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
