In order to access VSS, you must be able to access the shared folder on your VSS server from your CCNet server. The CCNet service is set to use a local system user account by default which doesn’t have access to other machines. In order for CCNet to access VSS, you must change the log account for the service to a user that has network access to the VSS machine. More details can be found in the Service and Visual Source Safe Source Control Block sections.
