Project Server 2010 compatibility with IE11 and Windows 8.1

Hi All!
Maybe a silly question since compatibility is always asked about older versions, but here is my question:
Is Project Server 2010 compatible with IE11 and Windows 8.1?
I personnaly tested with IE11 and it seems to be ok. All views and pages can be opened with IE11.
But what about windows 8.1?
Has Microsoft done any communication about this?
Thanks in advance for your helps.
Guillaume.

I am seeing a minor issue with the timesheet grid after users are upgraded from IE8 to IE11.
We are using Project Server 2010 with SP1 and Oct 2013 CU.
When some users (using IE11) switches between filters or views in the Timesheet page, the grid shrinks making to content un readable. The only way to get it back is to refresh the page. After a refresh, the grid returns to normal size, but the pane
divider is too far to the left and always must be dragged to the right in order to see the task names in the left grid.

Project Server 2010 Active Directory Synchronization - duplicate Windows Name - Event ID 7734

Environment: SharePoint Server 2010, Project Server 2010, SP2, DEC 2013 CU (Farm Build number: 14.0.7113.5001)
Scenario:
Domain user has been added to the Active Directory group being synchronized with Project Server for the Team Members group.
That user has participated as a team member in numerous projects, added documents, been assigned tasks, typical project stuff...
Employee quits.
AD account is deleted. (NOT deactivated or moved into another OU)
Time passes...
Employee gets rehired. NEW AD account is set up: same display name, SamAccountName, email address, different GUID of course.
Daily Active Directory job runs again and throws event ID 7734 and the sync ends with a partial fail.
I understand why this is happening. Solutions I've found point me to deleting the Enterprise Object resource in Project Server and then rerunning the sync. Sure, this works BUT won't all of the previous documents, tasks,
etc. be disassociated from that user? If so, this is not ideal.
2 questions:
Is there a better way to deal with the fixing of the resource in Project Server to somehow link the old resource to the new resource allowing the sync to run successfully while still leaving the association to all old content intact?
How are other organizations dealing with rehires when they have been added as resources in Project Server? What is the best practice guidance from Microsoft on this? Are other companies not actually deleting AD accounts when users leave organizations
or are they putting them into a "ARCHIVE" OU or something like that? This happens at least half a dozen times a year at my company. We would like to keep our AD as clean as possible, but this appears to change our approach.
Any suggestion/guidance is appreciated.

For the question to relink the new account to the account which is already available in Project Server. You will have to update the WRES_AD_GUID to Null for the the Resource in MSP_RESOURCES table in the published database.
Whenever a users gets synchronized to the PWA his ADGUID, SAMAccountName, Display Name, Email Address and DepartmentName is Synchronized from AD to Project Server. When the user was deleted and recreated the ADGUID got changed. During the next sync, project
found the user with similar properties but different ADGUID which was updated in WRES_AD_GUID column in MSP_RESOURCES table. Hence it says that there is a duplicate account in the table with the same properties but a different ADGUID
Nullifying the WRES_AD_GUID column value in MSP_RESOURCES table should get the user synchronized to Project server in the next sync.

Project Server 2010 - Issue with correct recording of timesheet actual hours with decimals

We have Project Server 2010 and are using the timesheet functionality for recording resource times/costs in the schedules.
It has come to light only recently, that for one user, suddenly the times she is entering are not being summed up correctly. An image of her timesheet and the manage timesheet screens are shown below. Note she entered 9.5 hrs but the total that
appears in the manage timesheet screen is 9.514hrs.
If you look at the history of the previous weeks as well, the weird change toi the total hours has occurred in the previous 4 weeks as well. I have no idea why this has started happening and am not aware of any change to the resource's details (apart
from a change to her hourly rate).
Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks
Peter

We have this issue and are past the patch that discussed decimal rounding (April 2014, though it was more related to the application of resource rates). This seems different from that noted rounding problem.
We have at least three users (out of 625) that have this problem every week and it isn't always the same users. If we re-enter the time and zero fill the cells for the problem task it will fix it.
It is almost like when a user deletes a value that it is leaving residual numbers in the field.
Our 2010 server version below which is through Sept 2014 CU:
14.0.7132.5000
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Project Server 2010 PWA Provisioning Error - System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.

Hi,
When migrating from a Prod Environment to a Test Environment using the Project Server 2010 5 Database backup and restore process (actually 6 DB's with the Project Sites DB), upon encountering a failure during provisioning the PWA Instance, we get the errors listed
at the base of this posting in our Event Logs.
To clarify what we have done already, we have:
1. Backed up the 6 databases from the Source Environment.
2. Removed the existing PWA_Content and PWS_Content (Project Sites) databases from the Target Environment Farm.
3. Restored the 6 databases in the Target Environment.
4. Given the SP Farm Service Account 'db_owner' rights to each of the 6 restored databases.
5. Added the PWA_Content and PWS_Content databases (exact same names) to the Target Environment.
6. Locked down (offline/stopped), all of the SharePoint Content databases in the Farm except for the PWA_Content database.
7. Run the PWA Provisioning process from the 'Project Server' SharePoint Service in Central Admin.
It is during the PWA provisioning that we encounter these errors.
As the Target Environment is for Test/Dev purposes, the SP Farm Service Account is setup to support all of the SharePoint Farm Services, is in the Local Admin Group of each of the Servers (App, WFE and DB), and is actually in the sysadmin
role on the DB Server.
Any suggestions on what is causing this denied access situation would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Wayne

Project Server 2010 - Import Project Wizard - Local Resource Import Error

Using Project Server 2010 SP2 with admin rights when I encountered the following error:
Steps:
Upon importing a local mpp file with Import Projects Wizard
Mapped Resources. Some were mapped to enterprise resources and others were left as local.
Following completion of import process (mapped task fields, and save), the resources that were marked as "keep as local" were imported to the server as enterprise resources.
I have never encountered this issue with previous versions of project server and am wondering if anyone else has run into the same issue and if there is a patch? The error is consistently repeatable and I will check utilizing the account
of someone without admin rights to see if it happens there as well.
It appears that in proceeding to validation step, the import field is automatically defaulted to Yes when proceeding to step 2. If the user doesn't manually flag this back to No, then the resource is imported to project server.

Hi Luis,
I just ran a quick test and I couldn't reproduce your issue with PS2010 SP2. My local resources have been kept as local resources after the import process whereas the resources with a similar name than enterprise resources have been mapped with enterprise
resources.
Not sure which CU I have but I'd suggest you to upgrade to the
latest CU.
Hope this helps,

Project Server 2010 Business Intelligence performance issue

Hello,
We've setup a Project Server 2010 Business intelligence center and everything seems to be working fine.
The next day when users attempt to open Sample reports an error occurs that when we apply the "refresh all Data connections" a couple of times everything works fine.
How do we ensure that this strange issue of "fake un-related" errors are not occuring for users.
Once the BI is accessed by a few people then the reports seem to work the first time otherwise if you are the first one running them in the morning you have to retry 4 to 5 times for the excel spreadsheet to show up?

Hello Claude
While there is a list to things to double check when configuring Secure Store, I think the first thing I will do is "Set Credentials". The password may be been changed or if several attempts to using the account is tried, it may have gotten
locked out.
CHeers!

Project Server 2010 - Error 20010 with a master project and 3 sub-projects during publication

Hi,
Here is the situation :
One master project with three sub projects.
Sub projects are really similar (Same ressources and nearly same tasks but only the first contain real work for now).
Sub projects got no sub projects nor links between projects.
The owner of the master project got read rights through projects permissions on sub projects.
Sub projects are link in "read only".
We applied Project Server 2010 SP2 last week end and the issue appeared monday.
Here are the symptoms :
When we link only one sub project (Doesn't matter which one), the owner can publish, no problems.
With 2 sub projects, the error may occur.
With 3 sub projects, the error always occurs.
With admin rights, the error doesn't occur.
Here is the error :
ID : 20010 (0x4E2A)
Description : You don't have required permissions to perform the action (Average traduction)
Detail : <detail><errinfo><general><class name="Project"><error id="20010" name="GeneralSecurityAccessDenied" uid="19515c1d-2624-466f-953a-b7fc67337b81"/></class></general></errinfo></detail>
I'm unable to determine which sub project is the culprit, if there is one, as it's working when I link only one of them.
Thanks for your time !

Fylim --
If the project manager in question does not need to edit any of the three projects, the PM does not need to have Read/Write access to any of the three projects. Because you said that the PM needs to set links in all three projects, this means that
the PM will be editing all three projects. In order to edit the three projects, the PM must have Read/Write access to all three. Setting cross-project links constitutes editing of the projects, which is why the PM must have Read/Write permission.
Make sense?
Regarding SP2, I am not aware that this would change anything, but I could be wrong. The reality is that regardless of which SP you have applied to Microsoft Project and Project Server 2010, the PM in this situation MUST have Read/Write access to the
projects that he/she needs to edit with cross-project links. Hope this helps.

Project Server 2010 Web services access with Client Certificate Authentication

We switched our SharePoint/Project Server 2010 farm to use client certificate authentication with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0, which is working without issue. We have some administrative Project Server Interface (PSI)
web service applications that no longer connect to server with the new authentication configuration. Our custom applications are using the WCF interface to access the public web services.
Please let us know if it is possible to authenticate with AD FS 2.0 and then call
Project Server web services. Any help or coding examples would be greatly appreciated.

what is the error occurred when the custom PSI app connects?
can you upload the ULS logs here for research?
What is the user account format you specified in the code for authentication?
For proper authorization, the “user logon account” in PWA for the user needs to be changed from domain\username to the claims token (e.g.
'I:0#.w|mybusinessdomain\ewmccarty').
It requires you to manually call the UpnLogon method of
“Claims to Windows Token Service”. if (Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is ClaimsIdentity)
{ var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity; }
if (Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is ClaimsIdentity)
var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity;
Than you need to extract UPN-Claim from the identity.
Upload the verbose log if possible.
Did you see this?

Error Project Server 2010, % Complete, Work and Actual Work

Hi Everyone
I have a Project Server 2010 SP2 Environment, The farm contains 3 Servers.
1 WFE, 1WebApp, 1 BD. All servers in the farm are Windows Server 2008 R2 and the Data Base Server is SQL Server 2008 R2
The Context:
The Project Managers create the Project in Project Professional 2010 SP2 for support Annual Maintenance about a software, then the team members go to my tasks in PWA to create the task inside the stage in the project, then they put the actual work, then they
send the progress to his project manager.
So, the project manager goes to the approval page to approve two times, one, the task creation and two, the progress.
So far all ok but when the project manager open the Gantt in Project Professional 2010 SP2 , the task that the team member has sent appear with a 100 percent complete, but the work with 0 hours and the actual work with 0 hours too, being that should appear
with the hours the team member has sent, that is my problem.
This occur only with this project manger and his team member, all of others project managers in the platform don't report this issue.
I already have re open the project and re publish too
So , let me know if you have some idea about this issue.
Erick Gutiérrez PMI Membership #ID 2089740 MTCS - Microsoft Project Server Managing Projects

Only other ideas is to make sure the duration isn't 0, which would make it a milestone.
Have the resources, recall the timesheets and resubmit. Run it thru cycle again and see if they actual show up.
Finally, you can run SQL query and see where the data may be.
1) Check if status manager is who you think it is
2) Check if project shows actuals in sql. Doesn't explain why not showing in schedule.

Project Server 2010 - Modification date and name of the person who made the last change in the project

Hello everybody
I'm with a doubt.
I got in the business
environment Project Server 2010 and
would like to get the publication date,modification
date and name
of the person who made
the last change in
the project. It is possible
to doby the native
resources or is
there any query in
SQL Server to perform a
query of this information.
Thank you.
Obrigado por contactar o fórum Microsoft Technet!

Hi Hezequias,
You can get the ProjectModifiedDate column in MSP_EPMProject_userView in the Reporting DB where you can
get the data based on the projectUID.
The "last saved" date in the draft DB (be aware that querying in the draft DB is not supported by MS).
For the "last modified by", I think it is not stored in any place.
But you can develop custom code upon publishing the project (Event BeforePublish), writing the current
date and username automatically into a custom enterprise field.
Hope this helps,

Project Professional 2010 and pwa hangs when opening a linked project from PWA on Project Server 2010

When I open a linked project in Project Professional 2010 from PWA, Project Professional 2010 hangs with the "Links Between Projects ..." dialog box open. Unable to move or close the dialog box. Unable to move or close Project Professional
2010. The PWA tab on internet explorere is frozen and unable to access although other tabs in IE are accessible. End up having to reboot to close down project or force the process to end. I suspect a hidden dialog box is the culprit maybe
the scheduling conflict dialog box but am unable to access or switch and cannot confirm that there is another dialog box.
Has anybody else experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Julie

I have seen it hang when trying to open a project schedule even with no external links.
Project 2013 Pro, Link to schedule is on a PWA on a Project 2007 server.
If Project 2013 is open before clicking on the link, there is a long delay and the project schedule opens up in the web tab where the link was selected. If Project 2013 is not open, it just hangs and has to be shut down via the task manager.
No idea why. I can create a link to the shared volume and that works OK. But if I actually try to open MS Project by clicking on the link to a .mpp file it never opens in MS Project.

SQL Server Express compatibility with Windows 8.1 - Which version(s) are compatible?

We have purchased a new computer that has Win 8.1 Pro. We are migrating an application from a Win 7 Pro machine we are currently successfully using (the vendor migrates it for us) and they have said that the application will require the installation of SQL
Server 2008 Express (which we do have on our Win 7 machine).
In looking at the requirements for SQL Server 2008 Express (on the download page for it), it does not mention it being compatible with Win 8.1
In addition, Installation Instructions says that it requires:
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1
Windows Installer 4.5.
Windows PowerShell 1.0
I see that 3.5 is already listed as a program feature of Win8.1 and I've enabled it. Do I need to install SP1? I downloaded it, and launched it, and nothing happened.
I also looked at the Windows Installer 4.5 download page, and it's not clear if that is compatible with 8.1. Do I need to download and install it?
Power Shell 2.0 is already installed. I assume that will be backwards compatible with PowerShell 1.0; is that correct?
I saw another question about SQL Server Express Compatibility with Win 8.1 (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/038ec00e-4fc1-41ba-9fdc-21c022aad67e/action?threadDisplayName=sql-server-express-compatibility-with-windows-81) and the response
said that SQL Server Express 2012 will work, but the link contained in the answer led to a page for SQL Server Express 2014.
My vendor has told me that SQL SERver Express 2012 will be backwards compatible with their product. But they said that I would first have to install 2008 first. Is that correct for Win 8.1?
So, the ultimate questions are:
1. What is the link for Sql Server 2012 Express for Win 8.1?
2. Will the SQL Server 2012 Express download require prior install of the 2008 version
3. What other component requirements are required for SQL Server 2012 Express, and how can I determine if they have already been installed. (This is a brand new computer with a clean Win8.1 Install).
4. Finally, can we use the 2014 version of SQL Server Express for Win 8.1? If so, questions 1, 2 and 3 apply, too.
Thanks for your help on this!! HIGH ANXIETY.

Hello,
The following article provides which updates are required to make SQL Server versions compatible with Windows 8 or 8.1:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/en-us
1. You can use the product updates feature on SQL Server 2012 to make it compatible with Window 8.1. Apply SP1 as described on the following
article:
http://www.sqlcoffee.com/SQLServer2012_0008.htm
2. No.
3. Download and install .NET Framework 4.0 and enable .NET Framework 3.5. For more information:
http://www.sqlcoffee.com/SQLServer2012_0017.htm
4. Yes, you can use SQL Server 2014 with Windows 8.1. Please refer to the Support article provided above.
Hope this helps.

I want to break inheritence and create unique permissions in a Project Server 2010 project site list/library.

Some Project Managers want to restrict permissions on certain lists or libraries in their Project Server 2010 project site. However, when I have done this for them, by breaking inheritence to the parent site and then removing/adding users with unique
sharepoint permissions, it seems that when the project schedule is published, some of the newly created permissions are lost.
I have tried creating a SharePoint group at the project site level and then applied it with specific permissions (eg. Contribute) to the list/library and this seems to work better but I haven't been able to confirm yet if this will work in the
longer term.
Does anyone know what is the best method to break inheritence and set up unique permissions on a list in a Project Server 2010 project site that will not be lost when the project schedule is published?
Thanks
Peter

Thanks Lynda
I am aware that I can disengage the entire permissions sychronisation using that setting but that is not what I want to do. I just want to be able to break the inherited permissions on individual document libraries or lists on specific Project Sites
so that I can restrict access to nominated people.
My issue is that when I do this, I find that some of the amended permissions disappear from time to time. It seems to be related to when the schedule is published. They
don't revert to the inherited permissions, just some of the people who I have given direct access to no longer have access.
Im just trying to find out the best way to manage setting non-automated permissions on a single list or library in a Project Server project sites so the changes stick.
