Yes it is, but why would you install the client software on a server?

I use it on several Windows 2003 servers without a problem. Never tried it on a 2008 server.

We use it on our build server. It is much preferred to the CLI when doing iteractive work when remoted in.

we're wanting to move this repository over to a Windows 2003 or 2008
server. As this repository was in place before I started my job, I
was told that our organization wanted to have a central location for
the repository. I would just copy and paste the entire repository
onto the new server, right? How can I change the "pointer" of the
repository?
Thanks!

You "should" be able to just copy the repository folder from one machine to another. Since you are going from Windows to windows that should be ok.
Once you move the repository to the new server, if you are using a new server name you will have to "relocate" all your WC's to point to the new server. Just right click on your working copy and choose T-SVN -> Relocate... and provide the new URL path. If you are going to shut down the old server and use the same server name for the new one, you shouldn't have to do anything.
Not sure how you are hosting it, but we use svnserve on windows 2003 server for two years now without a problem.

Be sure to stop the server on the old machine first before moving the
repository and don't start it again, otherwise anyone who makes a
commit will commit on the old server *after* you made your copy and
their changes will not be present on the new server.

TortoiseSVN and repository kind of thing. What did you mean when you
said "relocate all your WC's..." What is a "WC"?
Also, I don't see a "Relocate" function in the TortoiseSVN dropdown
menu when right clicking on a folder. All it lists is:
- Repo browser
- Export
- Create repository here
- Import
- Help
- Settings
- About
My Tortoise client is version 1.4

That indicated you are right clicking on an ordinary (i.e.

That is a bit old, try upgrading to 1.6.6. It is OK to use a newer
version client to access a different 1.x version repository.

Working Copy. That is the client-side folder that the checkout lives
in and every client PC will have one (or more) so there could be a lot
of them to relocate.

That is because you are not right clicking in a working copy folder.

Which is quite old now. We are on 1.6.6

You have to read the instructions, WC is short for working copy. Actually,
there are two documentations, one for Subversion, the other for TortoiseSVN.
In particular the former is a must, as it explains typical procedures and
terminology.

Well, you have to click on a WC.

It wouldn't hurt upgrading, actually you get a few, possibly interesting
features.

was right clicking on a NON-working copy version. I can now see the
"relocate" on the dropdown menu when I right click on a 'WC'.
Ok, I'm almost done: I simply copied the repository folder (left
everything intact) from one server to the new one Windows 2008
server. Now, on my 'WC' on my local PC, do I just relocate and choose
the different URL to the new location of the repository?
Before clicking the 'Yes' button, I get a "Relocate Warning", saying:
<----Quote--->
"It seems you are trying to relocate your working copy to a different
path inside the same repository
From: svn://NewServer/Website/Trunk/wwwroot/MyWebsite
To: svn://NewServer/Website/Trunk/wwwroot/MyWebsite
A relocate is only necessary if the path to a repository has change.
Changing to a different path inside a repository is done by a switch
operation.
Improper use of relocate will corrupt your working copy!"
<---End quote--->
As I've mentioned before, all I'm doing is moving the entire
repository to a different server. Is it OK to go ahead and click
"YES" to this relocate warning? I don't want to corrupt anything!

So, your working copy is already pointing to your new server. I assume you checked this out from your new server? If so, you don't need to do a relocate. You only need to relocate working copies that were checked our from the old server. Or, you can just do a new checkout from the new server. Either way will work. Doing the relocate lets you keep working with an existing WC so you don't lose and possible pending changes or have to d/l your whole project again.

just wanted to get confirmation that the steps I'm going to take in my
last message was not going to corrupt anything, as it's just a
straight copy and paste of the repository folder from one server to
another.
Please advise.

Those paths are both the same. If the new server really does have the
same path then there is no need to relocate. If the paths are
different then please tell us the real message.

From: svn://OLDServer/Website/Trunk/wwwroot/MyWebsite
To: svn://NEWServer/Website/Trunk/wwwroot/MyWebsite
And no, the NEW server does NOT have the same path. Should I continue
or would I need to change a setting first before proceeding?

Did you install svnserve.exe and start it running, or install as
service and start that?

no, I did not install anything on the Windows 2008 Server. Is
"svnserve.exe" necessary? I thought I could just copy the repository
from one server to another then change the URL pointer.
Please advise.

Subversion is a client/server system. TortoiseSVN is the client but
you need a server as well. The svn:// part of the URL indicates that
svn protocol is being used, and that you need to be running svnserve
on the server. Please do yourself a favour and read the documentation.

That's how it runs. Try connecting to it from a client.
BTW, it's not a DOS window. DOS has been dead for a decade. It's the
Windows command prompt/shell.

svnserve as a windows service.

all of these scripts need to run elevated (as an administrator),
double check that the svnserve port isnt being blocked by your
firewall.
