I would love to, but my boss has said either get it working or we move to SourceSafe.

I was the one that talked management into using TeamFoundation and little support from management (new/different=bad).

The only problem we have run into that I have not been able to work around is the View History. It works on everything but

a few files. I suspect that it has something to do with moving from the workgroup version, but not sure. The reason I think

this is that all effected files are older files. Everything added since the "upgrade" have worked fine.

Show him this: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=570187&SiteID=1 :) Seriously, having switched my own responsibilities from TFS to VSS recently, you do not want to go down that path.

As far as your crash, try installing SP1 in case it's a known issue after all. I'll point some TFS folks at this thread to see if the stack trace rings any bells.

From the sounds of it - it looks like you are missing rows from the identity table - did anyone manually delete any rows from this table? Run this query and check if it returns any rows

select * from tbl_Changeset a

where not exists (

select * from tbl_Identity b

where b.IdentityId = a.OwnerId

If you do find deleted identities, run the following SQL script in a query window on VC database to fix the problem. The values XX and YY below are the deleted identity ids.

BEGIN TRAN
DECLARE @deletedUniqueUserId INT
DECLARE @authKey1 VARBINARY(85)
DECLARE @authKey2 VARBINARY(85)
DECLARE @base VARBINARY(85)

SET @base = 0xFFEEEEEE
SET @authKey1 = @base + CAST (NEWID() AS VARBINARY(85))
SET @authKey2 = @base + CAST (NEWID() AS VARBINARY(85))

SELECT @deletedUniqueUserId = CounterValue
FROM tbl_Counter WITH (UPDLOCK)
WHERE CounterName = 'UniqueUserId'

SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.tbl_Identity ON

INSERT INTO dbo.tbl_Identity(IdentityId, AuthenticationKey, AuthenticationType, DisplayName, IsGroupIdentity, UniqueUserId, CreationDate)
VALUES (XX, @authKey1, 1, 'LCC\Unknown', 0, @deletedUniqueUserId, GETUTCDATE())

INSERT INTO dbo.tbl_Identity(IdentityId, AuthenticationKey, AuthenticationType, DisplayName, IsGroupIdentity, UniqueUserId, CreationDate)
VALUES (YY, @authKey2, 1, 'LCC\Unknown', 0, @deletedUniqueUserId+1, GETUTCDATE())

UPDATE tbl_Counter
SET CounterValue = CounterValue + 2
WHERE CounterName = 'UniqueUserId'

SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.tbl_Identity OFF
COMMIT TRAN
