I have two queries:
1) I need to migrate my VSS environment from VSS6.0 to 2005. Will it be ok
if I do the following:
Install VS2005 and then simply Specify the database(data folder) to be used

Hi all, I have used source safe for a while now, however it has been on
small teams and limited users only. As our team size grew, and new
projects are being started simultaneously, we are having problems
maintaining our code without any conflicts. We have a code base in

I am thinking of buying one of those Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices
so that we can share files around the office. The device that I am thinking
of getting runs Linux as the OS

hi, i hope this isn't a stupid question but i looked a while and couldn't
find a command to list users currently logged in to a VSS
database/repository. (even better would be to send them a mail reminding
them to please log out before going home.)

I was adding a web project solution to Source Control and I received this

“You are attempting to add some File Share Web access projects to source

but cannot figure out how to un-share them. Can anyone tell me how to do

We have 2 domains in the same forest in our global company.
For e.g, we are in ca001.globalforest.com and user is in
us002.globalforest.com.
I have granted file share permissions to our VSS server and the user is

how do I import a complete source directory recursively into a newly
created VSS2005 DB?
I tried the following sequence (to no avail):
cd <local_project_dir>

I wonder if there exists a sharepoint integration resp. a webpart for visual
