Bypassing Prompt using VSSConverter Utility When Converting From VSS to TFS
http://www.epocalipse.com/blog/2006/04/05/vssconverter-tip/
If you need to run VSSConverter (The command line utility to migrate SourceSafe projects to Team Foundation Source Control ) from a batch file and you don’t want the utility to prompt for the VSS admin password, you can set the environment variable SourceSCMPasswd to the admin password and set HATCONTESTING to “yes”
vssconv.bat:
set SourceSCMPasswd=VssPassword
set HATCONTESTING=yes
vssconverter.exe migrate settings.xml
