Hello, We have a client that has a pretty significant issue with PS2010.  What happens, is when you publish a project from PWA the work hours in pro and pwa will match.  The cost, however, may not.  A publish with the Project Professional client resolves the issue, making the metrics between PWA and ProjPro consistent […]

Recently a client applied SP1 and the December 2011 cumulative update to their SharePoint farm.  Although the installs went without a hitch and the configuration wizard finished successfully they received the 503 Services Unavailable message when attempting to access any SharePoint sites.  A quick look in IIS revealed that all but a few application pools […]

I had a client who wanted to change the SQL server used in a SharePoint farm.  We did so using a SQL Alias and a named instance for SQL Server.  The next few screenshots prove it out. Our original server was MPNTPRJ10A. server moving to is MPNTPRJ10B, and we want to use a named instance […]

Hi There! At a client of mine recently they wanted to have site level backups created on a nightly basis.  I decided to use PowerShell and Windows Task Scheduler to perform this tasks.  Creating the PowerShell scripts was easy enough, see below: First set execution policy Set-ExecutionPolicy “Unrestricted” Next, add the PowerShell snapin for SharePoint […]

I recently had a client in a situation where they started a delegate session as another user, however, that other user was not assigned to any security groups within Project Web App.  Obviously this caused an issue as the user could no longer access PWA.  Simply logging in as another use and delete the delegate […]

Read a blog post from Christophe recently and liked it quite a bit, being the virtualization freak I am.  There are actually several blog posts I am referencing from the Project Admin Blog below, all of which are very helpful when setting up PS2010 and SharePoint 2010 in a virtualized environment.   Project Server Best […]

Folks – recently I have been seeing quite a few similar questions around external access to a project whether it is via PWA or Project Professional.  We cover this in our PM Training and have seen these several times with folks upgrade from Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2010.

Hi, I recently had a customer inquire as to why when he uploaded multiple documents to a SharePoint 2007 document library they were all left in a checked-out state upon upload.  Through our ProCare Support Services, we were able to teach the client how to manage this. The answer really depends on the settings in […]

The screenshots below cover the, TargetDataSourceFolder, TargetReportFolder and TargetServerURL settings.  In this case I want to deploy my datasources and reports to a folder in the Business Intelligence center named Report Pack.

  This is simply a brain dump from quite a bit of SSRS report development I was doing this past weekend.  Basically I have one SSRS report that I want to call another, however, I want it to open in a new window.  Yes, seems easy, however, it’s somewhat complex.  The first few URLs below […]
