I am going to be copying a large directory from one server to another and I want to make sure the copying doesn't get hung up by a file name that is too long. The files are being copied froma 2003 server to a 2008 server. I ahve had this issue in the past where I start teh copy nad it stops with an error that it can't copy file xyz.123, so I have to go back in and find that file and rename or delete it. Any way to easily check the file name lengths?
Thanks,

Are you looking for something that will output a list to a text file?
Are you talking about just the file name being longer than 256 chars (e.g: mydoc12345.txt = 14chars) or do you want to count the entire pathname as well (e.g: \\myserver\myfolder\myfile
This can be done via a vbscript if you let me know your requirements
