Hi For what i've read about the plugin your using "The plugin has currently no effect on master node and never places short workspaces out of slave's workspace root."
Does Jenkins supports windows ntfs 32k file path long names, like \\?\c:\dir\file" ? (https://serverfault.com/questions/163419/window-256-characters-path-name-limitation) I've never tried it... In the same serverfault thread, there are others possible solutions, like creating symlinks of your long path folders using mklink (which does not require root access like subst). You can also start your jenkins with "JENKINS_HOME=c:\j" for example ;) but this is only a short term solution as your paths keep getting longer and longer.
