Preventing illegal file and Folder name creation on a Windows 2003/2008 file server is the goal. We know from articles like How do I check if a given string is a legal / valid file name under Windows? that for some reason the file system allows creation of illegal file/folder chacters and paths that exceed the limitations of Windows. I need the following question answered:
- How to remove cabability to create file or folder creation in NTFS that contains invalid characters?
- Can you remove the POSIX subsystem from Windows to fix this issue?
- How does disabling 8.3 dos name creation factor into this issue?
- Will any of these fixes prevent linux clients from creating windows compliant files?
