If the Best Practive Analyzer is showing this error, you can disable the 8dot3 Names by running the following commands

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ServerName -ScriptBlock {
  fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 1
}

The number one stands for one of the following options:

  1. Enable 8dot3 name creation on all volumes on the system
  2. Disable 8dot3 name creation on all volumes on the system
  3. Set 8dot3 name creation on a per volume basis
  4. Disable 8dot3 name creation on all volumes except the system volume
