Windows long file name limit alert through group policy

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Is there an Group Policy Option to alert users when a file or folder
name is to long for the windows limit? I have run into the long file
name issue on file access and also when running a file backup.

Please see Tomasz's response to this twice posted newsgroup question. This
feature I was unaware of but I still believe you will have to reboot the
machine.
