You could just change the &lt;host name="…" value to a shorter name, as long as it is unique on your network.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The NetBIOS name is limited to 15 characters, the 16th character indicates the service type.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Gary</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 09 Aug 2006 10:03:06 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-problem-server-name-limitation/m-p/21226#M9999 gary_spencer 2006-08-09T10:03:06Z
