You would need to supply way more information. Source Safe is not a code deployment tool.

ok sorry i am a fresher... i thought it is same as svn... I have used svn before but not source safe.
Thanks

If you mean "same as svn" to be that Source Safe is a source code repository, that is correct. Repositories do not "deploy" code. You would need to install the Source Safe client application on your test server and then use that application to "pull" the source from the database to your local hard drive.

Source safe stores just that. Source code. It's a central repository for your code so changes across a team can be managed and merged and backed up from a central location.

It doesn't store the binary files generated when you compile your application.

So source safe will not actually contain the fails you need to deploy.

What you need, if you're looking for an MS solution to build and deploy mechanisms is Team Foundation Server (TFS).

Then can automatically build a release when code changes are checked in. Run automated testing. And then publish the resulting build files to a specific location.

The build process in TFS uses the MSBuild engine. This is far too big a topic to cover with this question. But it has the ability to do almost anything in regards to automated building and deployment.

If this is a web project. You can output to a template server and then use the Web Farm Framework to push the changes out to your other servers.
