Disable 8dot3


Disable 8dot3 naming, what is requested during UCM install procedure, by running "Installer DisableNtfs8dot3" and then restarting windows. This procedure can be run after UCM installation is done.

Run: DomainHome\ucm\cs\bin\Installer.exe DisableNtfs8dot3
Page 153: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e14495.pdf

If that still leaves 8dot3 naming enabled, modify registry:
1. Start/Run/regedit
2. In the left pane of the window navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
3. In the right pane of the window, edit the DWORD "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation" and set its value to 1 (The default value is 2)
4. Reboot the system
