Hi everyone. I recently locked our database to do an analyze on our data folder, however, before I did the analyze, I needed to unlock and let a user in, only their (and all others but admin) SS.ini file was not found. It's there in the users folder, but is not recognized by VSS. I had to recreate the users. Anyone else experience this or know an easier way to fix it in case it happens again? thanks in advance.
 
VSS cannot find the SS.INI file for this user. The default location is
vss\users\<username>.
This error has the following causes and solution:
* The SS.INI file is not where VSS expects to find it. (See your VSS
Administrator if you have moved this file.)

* The user's SS.INI has been renamed or deleted.
You can copy an SS.INI file from another user into this
user's folder, then modify it to customize VSS. Your VSS Administrator must
then set VSS to look in the proper place.
