Changing task name issues

When we change a task name mid-project life, and then run a resource assignment query, we see tasks listed with the former task name. For example, orginal task name = "Finish part 4", updated task name - " Finish part 4 - job 655".
We update the task to 100% after the name change. When we run the assignment query, the task "Finish part 4" shows on the list with completion percentage of 0%. Do we have to rename the task to the original name and then update to 100%?

Hi,
What exactly do you mean by "assignment query" in MS Project langage? Assigning a resource on a task? Also which Project version do you use?
This should not happen, meaning that changing the competion pourcentage has no impact on the task name.
Please give us more details so we can help.
Hope this helps,

Changing Mailserver Name Issues?

I have an older server doing both email and web and I plan to split the services across a couple of boxes and limit this box to just doing email. So far it has used the same domain name like foo.bar.com for both the address of the email and webservers. I have arranged to get foomail.bar.com working and pointed at the same box and I have the SSL cert creating and working. It's my plan to notify the users of the change and push out the new certificate and eventually change foo.bar.com to point to the webserver box instead.
What's the easiest way to make this transition while my users will be using and mix of both names? Can I change the mailserver setting to foomail right away and make foo a virtual server or vice-versa? Is there a better way?
Any input appreciated,
=Tod

I have to admit that is my first inclination - although experience tells me that the frequency of emails to users seems to have little effect on their awareness of these things. Unfortunately the main reason we run our own mailserver is because some of our least technically proficient users have been on some version of our mailserver literally for years. So I was hoping to make the change via a virtual server at first to give everyone time to try it out and handhold our problem users through the process.
The other issue is that we are in an environment where the DNS is handled by other powers that be which makes timing an exact change-over a little more difficult. (But the trade-off is that they are very good and I don't have to worry about DNS.)
Switching gears a little is there any easy way to direct any emails that might go to the new server under the old name short of doing the email forwarding thing for every account? Users are supposed to use @bar.com but some still sometimes use (or have used) @foo.bar.com and when the mailserver becomes @foomail.bar.com I'm sure some mail will still go to the new @foo.bar.com which will no longer be a mailserver.
Obviously I could run mail and do a vacation message warning system but is there a way to set-up forwarding or redirecting without setting up all the user accounts from the current server?
Thanks,

Change of name issue

We are still on Exchange 2010.
We have a user whose name has changed after getting married.
All changes have been made to their AD and Exchange mailbox.
However the user has been given permission to "send on behalf" from a public folder mailbox but gets a message saying they don't have permission and in the message it references the users old name i.e. before marriage.
Can someone advise on how to resolve this issue.

Hi,
As Amit suggested, I recommend you check who has send on behalf permission to this public folder and verify if this new user name is listed. If no, I recommend you re-add it and check the result.
Hope my clarification is helpful.

AD - 'Change First Name' process task is rejected by default - OIM 11.1.2

Hi All,
I wanted modification to be auto provisioned to AD account when user attribute is changed.
For this created 'Change First Name' process task and made entry in "Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS" lookup def.
I followed the link Enabling update for provisioned user in OIM11g
When I changed first name of a user from identity console, 'Change First Name' process task is assigned to XELSYSADM. But the status of the process task is Rejected. Also, the changed 'First Name' value is not updated in the process form of the user. Hence the change is not reflected into AD.
Please tell me why the status is Rejected and changes are not reflecting.
Also, Please provide the solution to auto provision the modifications into AD.
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks much kevin,
One more query.....
In my case when 'city' attribute is changed its invoking 'Change city' which inturn invokes 'City updated' process. Now when city is updated I need to updated 'Organization Name' in AD process form and make it reflect in AD.
For this, I created 'Change Org Unit' process task which will populate 'Organization Name' field in process form, so inturn it will invoke 'Organization name updated' process task.
I made 'Change Org Unit' process task as dependent task for 'Change city', so once the 'Change City' process task status is 'C', it will invoke 'Change Org unit' process task.
But, 'Change Org unit' process task is not being invoked.
Could you pls provide me solution.
Thanks in advance...

Vendor change name issue

I have a problem, we have a vendor named vendorA. In one day, vendorA changed their name to vendorB. Then my colleague change the name on vendor master. I would like to know it is better create a new vendor code or modify the exist one? Since we still issue PO after changed the vendor name, that means all PO related to this vendor, including new name and old name. If i create a new vendor code for new name, is it possible to transfer the to new vendor code, credit old vendor code, debit new vendor code. Thanks!

Hii,
Do not change Name of the exesting vendor into new name , it is better to create a new vendor code unless it will be difficult for you to scrutiny of vendor data.
Create a new vendor code & then find out the data which needs to be booked in new vendor code.
For this , you have to pass two seprate entires by using intermidiary account
For Eg.
if old vendor having credit balance
Old Vendor a/c   Dr.
     to Intermidiary a/c
& then
Intermidairy a/c   Dr
     to New Vendor a/c
Note : In both the entried you have to use one common profit center

Task Name - Field length Change

Can we change the task name length for team members when adding a new task?
Regards, Syed Faizan ur Rehman, CBPM®,PRINCE2®, MCTS

Hi Syed,
If you want to change the task field length, it is not possible. It is a native field which is predefined in the system.
But if you want to change the length of the task name itself (for example "design" by "system design"), then it it possible since what matters is the task UID and not the task name.
Hope this helps,

Known issue: Cortana will not pronounce your name during setup or when changing your name (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

Cortana may not speak your name when tapping the "Hear how I'll say it" button when setting up your name for the first time or when changing your name in the settings panel.

There is no workaround for this issue. However, you can still complete the process of setting or changing your name.

Issues changing DAQ name in Measurement and Automation.

I am currently using LabVIEW 8.2 w/Measurement & Automation 4.4.1 with Drivers 8.7. I am having using four USB6008s and cannot change the resource name in M&A. It seems to crash this application. Any ideas?

Thank you,
While running M&A, I would go under the Devices and Interfaces tab, select NI-DAQmx Devices, select my card which happens to be a USB6008. From this point I right click on the device and in the drop down menu I select Rename. After changing the name of the device I hit enter and wait. It eventually comes up with a fault indicator and states "
Measurement & Automation Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
At this point the window offers a "send fault to MS" or quit both resulting in the M&A application to close.

Anybody have any ideas?

Hi,
From the error message, it failed because of "invalid argument: storagetype = '101' ".
101 means the storage type is "system" + "cache". Is there any change on your storage before the issue occurs? For example whether the source storage is changed?

MS Project - can you merge from a spreadsheet/access database based on task names?

I'm wondering if it's possible to import data on certain tasks from a spreadsheet or access database. I know you can import tasks and append them, but I was hoping to:
- Match a task name with the task name on the spreadsheet/access database
- Update that task in MS project with information/fields in the spreadsheet/access database
Can this be done? Thanks.

Hi,
In regarding the issue, my understanding is that you want to use Excel spreadsheet as database for the Project.
I recommend you develop an import map that includes the key fields. Please refer to the link and do it step by step:

If I misunderstanding something, please let me know and upload some sample about the Excel spreadsheet.

Last Name within the Contact Parent actually reads "Task Name" when editing it

I created a new contact type named New Hire for a workflow I am working on. The contact type was from existing group Core Contact and Calendar Columns. I noticed "Last Name" source is "Item" when all the other contact
fields are "Contact". Then when I open it to change it from Optional to Required, the field actually shows "Task Name" for the Column Name. This is not right. Please let me know how to fix...
How I got there…
- Site Settings
- Site Content Types
- Created a new Contact Type named New Hire
- Last Name is Item and not part of the type “Contact” like the others
- And when I open up Last Name and Edit it, I see “Task Name"
How can I fix this?

Hi,
Content types are organized into a hierarchy that allows one content type to inherit its characteristics from another content type. All SharePoint OOTB content type inherits System content type. For detail, you can see that Item content type inherits
System content type, Folder content type inherits Item content type, Document content type inherits Item content type and so on.
Reference:
https://support.office.microsoft.com/en-in/article/Introduction-to-content-types-and-content-type-publishing-a5026d23-8df8-42f6-b0d6-1920880c0d03?CorrelationId=d954de50-76c9-4003-81bb-49f3dfc68854&ui=en-US&rs=en-IN&ad=IN#__toc256601761
As Contact content type inherits Item content type, Contact content type inherit the Title column of Item content type. So Last Name is tied to Title.
For your issue, Last Name should be the Title. Also you can create a separate Title field.

How can I change the name of item in TableViewController iOS

How can I change the name of item in TableViewController? I want to be able to change the title of an item if I added one. Code:

Existing cross Reference: how to change the name of the file it refers to?

Hi everybody,
I am a professional translator.
One client of mine sent me a complete FrameMaker 9 book file for translation.
I translated the content via a CAT-Tool and now am in the process of checking if cross references and markers are ok directly into the file.
I noticed that many cross references are linked to another file of the book. But in the process of translating each file separately, I gave them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) so as to be able to recognise them eventually.
Now I have this problem: I cannot find in the cross reference interface where to change the name of the file into the new one the cross reference is supposed to refer to.
Am I right in wanting to change the file reference? If so, how do I do that?
Or is it better to avoid this task and rename the translated file into their original names ? Would it work then?
Thanks for your help.

... book file ...
... each file separately, I gave them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) ...
I'm guessing that you renamed the component files by means other than using the Edit > Rename File from the Book menu.
If so, do over. Rename from the Book menu. It automatically revises all the cross-references in all the component files.
In a Book, the only thing that's safe to rename with the file manager is the .book file itself.
