THe repository files (the sourcefiles your users put there) 
should be fine.
If you have created special scripts in the CVSROOT directory 
then you could be required to modify some of them since the call 
syntax has changed somewhat.
THere might also be some issues concerning the authentication 
since this is where a lot of code changes have gone. One notable 
such item is that the newer releases of CVSNT 
have stopped supporting the old :ntserver: connection protocol.
If you used that before then you need to switch 
your users to SSPI instead. SSPI works like ntserver concerning
the way users are authenticated (via the 
workstation login) but communicates with the server only through
pure TCP/IP on port 2401. 
So SSPI is actually routable, which ntserver never was.

What you should do is this:
1) Uninstall the existing CVSNT
2) Download and install the latest CVSNT 2.0.something
3) Do your checks to see that all is OK.

If you want to revert then uninstall CVSNT again and then download
and install an "old" version of CVSNT but not quite as old as the
one you have now. For example an early 2.0.xxx.
This should bring you back to the old state.

Note that your installing and uninstalling CVSNT will not affect your
repository at all.
The repository files are treated as data by CVSNT and are never touched
by any install/uninstall.

Are there any known problems we have to considere, when we upgrade our CVSNT
to the newest Release ?
What about the "old" repository"-files, do the work with the new CVSNT ?

Any help would be very appreciated. --- Thanks in advance !
