Here are a couple of good tips for making source safe run a little better over the network.
I have seen these before but a client (Mark Comeau) recently reminded me of them.
- Change your VSS Folder for temporary files to be local. It will default to where the VSS Database is installed. Tools->Options...-> General Tab
- Put your ss.ini on your local machine. This file normally is in the \users\ You can move it locally and change the \users.txt file to tell Source Safe where you put it.
Less network chatter means a better response time when using Source Safe over the network.
