How to enforce filename policies on Mac OS X Server 10.5?

[Haze]

Hi admins,

I have a Mac OS X Server, 10.5.8, which primarily is a file-server for a mixed client base of Macs and Windows machines.

But I have a problem, with filenames.

The problem is that the Mac client can create files and folders with names, that the Windows clients can’t see.

So my question is if there are any way to do some sort of filename policies on a Mac OS X Server?

I am think of something like what Grouplogic are doing with ExtremeZ-IP, and there “File Name Policy Enforcement”:
——————————————–
ExtremeZ-IP gives administrators the flexibility to define and enforce file naming policies on their server.
Policy enforcement keeps files that break naming policies out of important workflows,
delivers improved compatibility between Macs, Windows and other platforms all without Administrator intervention,
and results in better utilization of disk space by keeping files off the server that don’t belong there.
