      It appears that there is a workaround for this by turning "NTFS long path support." in Server 2016. Unfortunately this is not an option in 2008 or 2012.

      In those older versions there is no workaround so this prevents functionality for users who have long paths.

      Description

      After updating the Windows DSC module with the latest resources, the acceptance tests were failing setup due to plugin cache failing to synchronise files with deep directories

      It appears that the ruby mkdir function is hitting the MAX_PATH limit (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247.aspx#maxpath)

      Due to this failure we cannot update the DSC module with the SQL Server resources and it's only a matter of time until another module hits this issue.

      Instead perhaps puppet should use the UNC style naming which support 32,000 path lengths instead.
