The only problem I can see would come from giving direct file level access to the raw repository files. This can easily be countered by requesting a disk to be used solely by CVSNT and on which you don't create any user shares at all. Disks are dirt cheap these days so you should be able to do this easily. Apart from this the only remaining issue is the CPU cycles to share between CVSNT, VSS and SQLServer, where CVSNT is very lean except during the short times it is handling a request (seconds or less normally), it is idling at all other times. /Bo
