Problem with "." in Windows 2003 Folder

Posted by boonchuan, 06-28-2008, 07:45 AM
I had a folder abc.xyz in Windows 2000 server and it had been running fine. Strange thing was when I migrate that domain to Windows 2003 server, everything was working except everyting in the folder abc.xyz. However if I rename the folder removing the "." everything will be ok. Removing the dot is not that difficult, I am just curious as to why errors occur for folders with a dot in it for Windows 2003 server

I was able to create a folder abc.xyz and access a test.html in our windows servers. So i beleive this is something systems specific. Are you using the folder name abc.xyz or was it an example ?

As an example, the real name was domainname.com which follows after the real domain name.
