I tried that once in another case, but then again - how to get it
running on that remote computer?

OK,
if I create a command line utility to modify the registry then I would
only need to know what to put there, right?
I have no problem making a command line tool program that can
read/write the registry for example using a REG file as input.
BTW, is there alreadt a command line registry tool? Have to check
that.

But in order to get it all working I guess I need to do the following:
1) Shut down the existing service
2) Copy the newest CVSNT files over the existing installation
3) Modify the registry settings that need modification (see above)
4) Somehow install the lockserver service from the command line
5) Start cvs and lockservice (net start...)

The hard bit here would be to install the lockserver service and to
know which registry settings to set/modify. But since I already have a
working server, maybe I don't have to change much?
