[cvsnt] Re: How to use CVS init -r option ???

[Brian Post]

Why not use Windows RemoteDesktop support to gain access to the CVSNT 
server's control panel. Booly mentioned he was doing this in a LAN 
environment & for admin access he just needs another ActiveDirectory account 
(or existing to be added to the servers admin group).

FYI To enable RemoteDesktop support, go to emote tab on system properties.

Cheers, Brian
