The file name is too long

Getting this error when accessing a file on a Windows Server 2012 R2.  

"The file name is too long."

It's beyond the 255 character path/filename limitation.  Tried to see if I can access it via the 8dot3name but 8dot3name was disabled, enabling doesn't retroactively create an 8dot3name.  I can't copy or move the file.

Any know how to fix this issue?
