Symptoms
On a Windows Server 2003 R2-based computer or on a Windows Server 2008-based computer that is running Client for Network File System (NFS), Windows applications and APIs cannot enumerate path names on NFS mounted volumes. This occurs if the length of the path names is greater than 260 characters. Additionally, path names that are prefixed by using "\\?\" cannot be enumerated.
Cause
This problem occurs because of a limitation of the path length in the Client for NFS driver. The maximum path length is 260 characters.
