The less you try and change the better - it'll work if you just install
and go.  Best to delete the repository you have set up and start a new
one.  You could also uninstall and delete the registry key
HKLM\Software\Cvs just to be sure.

> 1.- Download and install "cvsnt-server-2.5.04.3510.msi"
> 2.- Create a folder: "C:\CVSrepositories"
> 3.- Open CVSNT Control Panel stop services.
> 4.- Add repositories.
> 5.- Set the domain from (default) to "MyDomain"

Do not do this - leave it at (default)

> 6.- Start services in the about tab.
> 7.- Run command prompt, and "set

> 8.- In Command Prompt cvs login

Do not login to sspi - you are already logged in (it uses your windows
authentication token)

Do not run passwd - if you created the user on the domain there is
nothing else to do.

Do not login

> 13.- Everything cool, cvs logout.

Try removing the domain.

Why do you need to use pserver?  You can use sspi over the internet (but
then you will have to 'cvs login').
