Hi all,

I've got an SBS2003 server running and am wondering if there is a limitation to the number of folders/sub-folders that the OS can handle?

Also, is there a limit to how deep the nested sub-folder structure can go? 16 deep? 32 deep?

Thanks,
Dan
 
There is no limit as far as I know. The only limit is the character length of the file name, which is 255. This includes the path and file name. Here's a nice table for the Windows File Systems.

 
Thanks Koonan. That's what I was hoping to hear!

Thanks for the table. It has a nice comparison of the file systems. Good info there!
