The CVSNT lockserver service is more capable than the lockfiles used by standard CVS and is the default on a new CVSNT installation, so please do not disable it. Concerning the repository: Move everything except the CVSROOT directory from your old server to the new one. Then check out and configure your CVSROOT files (config and scripts) the way you need them to be. That is about it. (you could move the CVSROOT/history file if you feel like you need to look into that sometime, but it is not really needed. CVSNT has a much better auditing function tha stores the action data in a database so it is easily accessible.) Take care that when you move the repository files you don't use some "intelligent" software that tries to change the line endings from Linux (LF) to Windows (CRLF) because then you are screwed! The repository should be boved in binary fashion. HTH /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
