Christopher,

I have managed to get StarTeam to work with the 6.3 Admin Tool - details 
below.  Please note that I haven't used it in anger though so I can't 
comment on how well it works with ARS but the following should at least 
allow you to get it to be recognised as a valid SCC provider.  I hope it 
helps.

The problem appears to be that the Admin Tool has a problem reading the 
registry key that points to the StarTeam integration.  Using Sysinternals 
regmon utility you can see a buffer overflow error that does not occur 
with Visual SourceSafe.

The list of installed SCC providers is in the registry at

HKLM\Software\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders

This key contains a pointer to the registry keys of each installed SCC 
product.  On a test system this has

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe
StarTeam Source Code Control Software\Borland\StarTeam 
Integrations\StarTeam Microsoft SCC Integration

Both of the referenced keys then contain the SCCServerName and 
SCCServerPath keys that the Admin Tool should read.

The buffer overflow error is caused when reading the StarTeam key 
reference so I created a shorter new key;

HKLM\Software\Borland\StarTeam

and added string entries in there for

SCCServerName StarTeam
SCCServerPath c:\winnt\system32\MsSccIntegration3.dll

These were copied from the original key. I then edited the reference in 
the InstalledSCCProviders key to point here instead;

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe
StarTeam Source Code Control Software\Borland\StarTeam

Now, when I go to enable SCC in the Admin Tool, StarTeam is available.
