A puzzle with Visual Source Safe and Admin account - HELP!!!

Post by Sabina »

I installed VSS(standalone install but essentially as a client) on Windows XP and it turned out that my machine admin account had the same name as VSS server admin account.

Since then, it logs me into VSS automatically without login prompt or anything like that.

I tried the following:
- created my machine's admin account with different name and password and completely removed the old one
- changed VSS server admin's account password.
- totally un-installed VSS from my machine and reinstall again several times trying different install/uninstall options
- clearned all the possible registries(as far as I know) after each uninstall
- set ssuser='someone else' which suppose to log me in without a prompt as user 'someone else'


The result is:
VSS still logs me into the server automatically and as an Admin. 8O

Is there some registry I didn't clean?

My XP admin account was created during installation. I wonder if it cannot be just renamed from Control Panel?

What else can it be?

As I understand we cannot just remove admin account on VSS server because it's a default one.

Any ideas are welcome, I am totally exhausted trying to fix it :cry:

Дурацкий вопрос - а в командной строке (или в ярлыке, если через него вызываете) не прописан параметр -y с именем пользователя и паролем?
Если нет, тогда запустите VSS Admin tool и в настройках отключите use netwoork name as a login (Use_Network_Name = No в srсsafe.ini для вашей базы)

It works with command line now, I didn't know in Win you don't need a space between option and values... :oops:

Win тут не причем, это шаловливые ручонки VSS софтописателей
Все равно можешь отключить использование имени, если мешает

"Тайна раскрыта. Это не спутник-шпион." Дело тут в srewed up XP логине, про который я тут ранее писала и никто мне так ничего и не присоветовал.

Бум переинсталлировать. :(
