Reading some documentation
63 is the max length for windows names, may have some problems with DNS
systems
15 is recommended for backward compatibility with Win NT
All of our servers use 15 chars or less, some DOD standard thingy
On Oracle 8.1.7.4.1, the desc for v$instance length is 64
Our 15 char ones show perfectly well

We have one called exchange-2009 I think that's our longest
2009/4/3 Arm, Mike (IS) <michael.arm@xxxxxxx>
I just checked my windows box running Windows Server 2003/Oracle
10.2.0.2.0 and the 12 character name shows up just fine in v$instance.
All my redhat boxes have 6 or 7 character names.

Not being a Windoze admin I certainly don't know, but there is a bug in
Oracle (at least through 10g) that limits the host_name in v$instance to
the first 8 characters.

We just received some new servers and the admin group is proposing a new
naming convention for them. The name would be 12 characters in length.
Are there any limitations on windows for the length of a server name?
