I have a very strange problem with Visual Source Safe. I use VSS as a add-on with VS 2008 in a corporate intranet with 5 other colleagues. My VS stops working after 5 p.m. most of days with complaining can not connect Source Safe. I’m running VS 2008 and VSS 2005 on Vista and no other one in corporate have such a problem.

What do you think about its cause?
Is there any log for VSS?

    You probably have logon restrictions on your domain account.

    VSS is a file based source control system and it works via access to a net work share. Account logon restrictions would prevent you from gaining access to the share at certain times.

    To test this theory try this:

    1. Get the share that VSS lives in. It should be in the form \\SERVER\SHARE.
    2. Open a command prompt
    3. Type NET USE this will show you all your connections
    4. If connected to the share type NET USE Z: /delete (with Z: being the assigned drive letter for that share)
    5. Type NET USE * \\SERVER\SHARE

    If this theory is correct, before 5 your will get command completed sucessfully, but after 5 you will get access denied
