Russian characters in filenames and comments

Hello

I've discovered very strange behaviour when working with files containing russian characters in names or check-in comments in Russian. When I try to add them to the your demo repository they work fine. But when I tried to add them to my local server - client says "Operation failed". I've found a lot of such complains on russian forums with no solution. I've tried VSS 2005 and VSS 6.0 on Win XP SP2 with SOS 4.2 with no difference. Please, can you explain, what config you have on your server that works with Russian characers?

PS In log.txt it says:
13.04.2007 19:59:10 - 1: Exception: Invalid access code (bad parameter).

Is it possible for you to run a test with VSS and the Russian characters?

We could be running different versions of VSS.

Also, can you tell me what OS you have your VSS and SOS servers on? Are they on the same or separate machines? Are they on the same domain?

VSS works with Russian characters just fine, I use it that way for several years already. And yes, I could run any test you propose.

We could be running different versions of VSS.

Also, can you tell me what OS you have your VSS and SOS servers on? Are they on the same or separate machines? Are they on the same domain?

I've tryed VSS 6.0 and 2005 with no results..
As to my OS, it is Windows XP Professional SP2 Russian, ssapi.dll's I've tried are 8.0.50727.42 from 2005 SS and 6.0.81.69 from 6.0
VSS 2005 is on the same machine where client is, VSS 6.0 is on other computer. Yes, they are on the same domain.

What version of SOS are you using?

As a test, would you mind trying our SOS server? Here's a link to information on how to connect to our demo server: http://www.sourcegear.com/sos/demo.html.

The latest one from your site, 4.2

As I wrote in the 1st post, it works ok with your demo server. But nobody managed to repeat this on his own computer.
