Trouble with long workspace names

[Brian Powell]

I have been running into an issue that looks like it has been brought up before (https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-38706). I am running Jenkins my Jenkins master and clients on Server 2012, and when Jenkins creates the workspaces it attaches a long string to the name ( ie. game-of-life-demo_master-FUA2SINOGRGRQSUALNXIZZS4LYTKWGDSYAC5B6HOU4LGPRCODDHA) , which causes my build to fail in MSBUILD bc of the character limit. Has anyone run into or successfully resolved this in a Windows environment? Any direction would be great, thanks!
