Exclusive lock on a now non-existant PC...

Post by aconnell » Thu Nov 18, 2004 1:36 pm

I had a few files checked out on my laptop from a repository. While checked out, my laptop died and has to be completely rebuilt. When I login to Vault with the same username, it shows the files are exclusively checked out, but I can't undo the checkout or force a checkin... it's like they are locked until checked in from the laptop (which won't have the same name).

Ideas? I tried logging in as admin and as the user (who's also an admin).

You can undo the checkout from the Vault Admin Tool, in the undo checkout tab.

We've changed this behavior in Vault 3.0 so that a user can undo checkouts from a different machine.
