Project Server - Installing onto one server in a Farm

$
0
0

Hello,

We currently have a SharePoint Farm with 2 Web Servers, 2 Application servers and one database server.

I have been looking into the requirements for installing Project Server 2010. It appears from what I have read I have two options, install on every server in the farm or create a standalone farm for just Project Server.

However, is it possible to install Project Server onto a new SharePoint server, add it to the farm and then use DNS to point to 'http:// project / pwa' at the new servers IP address?

Thanks for your time.

Printer disappearing after reboot

$

I have several Windows 2008R2 Citrix Xenapp 6.5 servers. I am trying to install a Midmark PDF printer. I can install it fine, but when I reboot the server, it just goes away. Does anybody have any ideas? I have been using the install package from Midmark, but I also tied it manually, (it uses the Amyuni Doc Converter 400 and the null port.) I can manually add it, but again on reboot, the thing disappears out of Devices and Printers. Midmark doesn't have any suggestions. On ONE citrix server it actually stays. I am not sure of the difference (if any) between the server where it stays and the others where it disappears on reboot. Anybody have any suggestions?

Project Server 2013

Hello, Everybody. 

I just installed Project Server 2013 and I'm a newbie on it. I have two questions:

1. How do I assign full permissions to an user in order to manage all the projects created in the PWA? This users are part of the Project Management Department so all people here must have full permission in all projects. They must also have permissions to grant permission in order to other people in the organization can view the projects.

Note 1: I do not want that the Project Management Department have access to modify the PWA settings. Just full control in the projects.  When they create a new project and want to grant permission, they get the following message: "this site hasn't been shared with you".   

2.  If I want them to connect to Project Server 2013, Must they have Project Professional or Standard on their local machines?

Geraldo,

Regards,

Hi Guys,

I'm getting the following error while backing up Project Server 2013 configuration. As per the following URL, I'm running Playbook on the same server ( Windows 2012) where my PS is being hosted, but still getting the same error.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg128952(v=office.14).aspx

Error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Library, culture=neutral, Version=14.0.0.0, publicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I need to export settings and move it to another server.

Can negative cost values be added in Project Server?

$
0
0

We are being asked by a user to add a negative cost value to reduce the total value of the project after the project has been closed. We are a support team to resolve issues - not to provide specific coding or custom fields to the tool without a major corporate process initiative to do so.

Our assumption is that a negative value can not be added to a standard cost field without impacting the associated reports in a way that throws a ###, NULL, or #VALUE# error. Is this a correct assumption?

Has anybody tried using a negative value? If so, what were your results?

Thanks!

Hi,

I had a Project In Project Server 2010 that all allocations in it were OK

then I made a new Project But yet non of the resources that I added are assigned to the tasks but in resources in resource sheet are red

now when I open the first project most of the resources in the resource usage view are red but all the work times are black so I suggest that it should be for other project so I opened the other project to ensure that no resource is assigned then I saw that when that other project is open the resources in first project are ok but when I close it again the resources become red.

It occurs for other project too

what is the problem??

I'm struggling to get status updates to work in PWA 2013.  I can update the tasks.  I can approve the task updates and get no error upon doing so, but the updates don't propagate to the project and the history shows " There was an internal error applying the update"  I've read the similar thread title from three years ago.

Thanks



2013: Colon in resource name breaks project publishing job

$
0
0

We have a customer who uses a colon in AD usernames for external users. People are named e.g. "Bond, James (external: MI6)".

When we assign two or more of these users to a task in PWA and publish the project, the job fails. The publishing job stops at 87%. A look into ULS logfile reveals that SynchronizeTaskListInManagedModeMessage fails, because "membership provider "Bond, James (external:" could not be found.

So Project Server somehow passes the user information to SharePoint in a way that the part up to the colon is interpreted as a membership provider :-(

Fast and dirty solution: Use SQL to replace the : in resourcename in published and reporting database tables. Works perfect - but of course this is nothing we should do....... :-(

We had similar issue with colon in the display name of the service account we tried to make admin on creating the PWA site. Here the provisioning would fail wilth a similar error message - but it works if you use PowerShell or use a user account without colon when the site is created and change it later.....

Anyone seen an issue like that and/or having a different suggestion how to solve the issue?

Yes, we will probably escalate this to Microsoft but have little hope to receive a fix soon.

And No: we cannot convince the IT department to change their naming scheme for some 100.000 user accounts just for Project Server ....

Thanks

I am facing the problem while opening project web app. I configured the SharePoint 2013 and project server 2013. Here is the detail what I performed the steps:

OS Server 2012 R2, SQL Server 2012, SharePoint server 2013 version 15.0.4420.1017, Project Server 2013 version 15.0.4454.1000. SharePoint configured and running successfully. After project web app site provisioning successfully completed. I got the below error.

Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.WebParts.PWAPart' from assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.PWA, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' cannot reduce access.

I run this psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force. But still getting same error.

Previous steps:

Earlier I had also tried to install SharePoint Server 2013 SP1 "3823428". After the installation SP1 some of sharePoint site features suddenly stopped e.g: Cannot  browse "Service Applications -->Manage service applications"  option even after re-start the server. This was previous error after upgrading SP1

"Method 'get_IsClientValid' in type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServiceApplicationProxy' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' does not have an implementation"

Dear All,

I have Exchange Server 2010 and Project Server 2013 in my environment. I would like to synchronize tasks in my Outlook.

I have already done steps that Daniel told about disabling the feature.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2ffa91cd-f8bb-4186-abe5-d7260dcb5570/sync-sharepoint-2013-task-on-outlook-running-on-exchange-2010?forum=sharepointgeneral

The Sync to Outlook button is disabled but Connect to Outlook button didn't show up.

Is there anything that I have missed?

Thank you.
