I have just been given the task of moving the current CVS repositories 
to a new server. To do this I am going to install cvsnt on the new 
server, and then copy over the existing repositories and then point CVS 
to them using the control panel. The developers using WINCVS 1.3 clients 
will also be getting new machines.

A few questions
- The current version being used is 1.11.1.1 build27 seriously out of 
date I know, is it OK to install the current version CVSNT 2.0, and 
still copy over the existing repositories and point CVS to them.

- In regards to the developers "sandboxes" Can I just copy these to 
their new machines, and then run the WINCVS macro to update them to 
change the Root files to point to the new location.(the machine the CVS 
Server is going to will have a different name, but the same directory 
structure)

Sorry if I am totally off track, I have never had any exposure to this 
before, and I am learning as I go along. Any advice appreciated as far 
as what problems I may run into, and what to look out for.

Many Thanks
