Thank you for the response and sorry for the delay checking in. Your response came in during my days off. I will check out the links you sent after I get some servers updated.
DFS on Server 2019 not accepting long file names
We recently upgraded our DFS servers to Server 2019 in an attempt to get long file paths working. All DFS servers in the replication group have been updated, a group policy was created and applied to enable long file paths, and the test machines are all Windows 10. I have checked the registry and the key updated correctly:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\Enable Win32 Long Paths" shows "enabled"
but it still isn't accepting long paths. Is there something I am missing?

2020-07-30T23:26:48.287+00:00 Thank you for the response. I think I understand now. We updated the servers and applied the group policy but didn't change the Folder Target. So for a share named Information Technology, we would have to change "\server.domain.com\Information Technology" to "\?\server.domain.com\Information Technology"?
