STS: No Error Returned When VSS Shadow Folder Is Inaccessible
This article was previously published under Q318769
If SharePoint Team Services or the FrontPage Server Extensions are configured to use Visual SourceSafe (VSS) integration with a project, and that project uses shadow folders, when you check in a file, the changes are not saved, and no warning or error message is displayed.
This program occurs when you do not have NT File System (NTFS) or share access to the shadow folder.
Visual SourceSafe detects that you do not have read/write access to the shadow folder, and returns an error; however, neither SharePoint Team Services nor FrontPage Server Extensions detects the error. Therefore, when you check in files, any changes that you made are lost, because the files are not replicated to the shadow folder.
To resolve this issue, an administrator must grant all users access to the shadow folder if they have read/write access in Microsoft Visual SourceSafe Administrator.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
