Project 2010 Server - Users loosing permissions to Projects

Hi all.
I am having an issue where some of our users are loosing permissions to certain projects. It is not always the same ones. It is even ones that they own.
I have done some searching through the forums but cannot seem to find the same issue.
Has anyone come across this or know what could be causing it?
We are running Project 2010 server on SharePoint 2010 platform.
Thanks for reading.

User are losing permission in project site or project ?? If it is project site then
May be users to whom access has been given manually and after every publish and change resource permission they were loose the permission to project site.
Choose only one approach described below then you will not face the issue
1.either Check to automatically synchronize Project Web App users" in PWA --> Server setting so that all the resource who are present in Project build team get the access.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197668(v=office.14).aspx
When you have this enabled, it doesn't sync all of the Project Web App users from the top level site, it only syncs users to the project site that should have access based on the following rules:
Project managers who have published a project or who have Save Project
permissions on a project are added to the Project Managers (Microsoft Project
Server) site group.
Team members with assignments in a project are added to the Team members
(Microsoft Project Server) site group.
Other Project Server users who have View Project Site permission on a
project are added to the Readers (Microsoft Project Server) site group.
2. or If you disable Check to automatically synchronize Project Web App users" then either Administrator need to give access to project site to required resources. this one is manual work and hectic to administrator to mention the up to date permission

Project Server User Security + Custom SSRS Reports Project List Parameter

Hello, below is the issue / challenge scenario:
I'mnt. We have to remove the smaller chunk of queries that are hitting the published database to get the user security permissions. I'm using custom SSRS reports that are pulling data from Reporting database and other custom financial SQL DB's. I need to
figure out a solution to get the list of accessible projects for a particluar user using PSI. I did find this technet article that addresses my issue in a way
http : // technet . microsoft . com/en-us/office/ee862408(v=office.14).aspx#pj2007_ta_SecurityInReports_DevelopingThePsiProxiesClassLibrary
the above solution means that I need to change many of my existing report queries (going to published DB)
Is there a simpler way to maintain a table that I can populate with the Project GUID's, name , user id, name using PSI? I can then refer the existing SQL's procs, TVF's to point to this table instaed of going to the published DB (unsupported method)
Any help/ direction is greatly appreciated
thanks,
SG

Hello,
The ReadProjectStatus PSI method defaults to Project for the Project Type, the value is 0. If you want other project types is gets slightly more complicated as you have to have multiple data sets for the ReadProjectStatus call, one for each project type
- each time specifying the default projType. For example for Projects (0) the query is:
<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/" Name="ReadProjectStatus">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="projType"><DefaultValue>0</DefaultValue></Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/ReadProjectStatus</SoapAction>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">ReadProjectStatusResponse/ReadProjectStatusResult/diffgram/ProjectDataSet/Project{PROJ_NAME,PROJ_UID,PROJ_TYPE}</ElementPath>
</Query>
For sub projects (5) it is:
<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/" Name="ReadProjectStatus">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="projType"><DefaultValue>5</DefaultValue></Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/ReadProjectStatus</SoapAction>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">ReadProjectStatusResponse/ReadProjectStatusResult/diffgram/ProjectDataSet/Project{PROJ_NAME,PROJ_UID,PROJ_TYPE}</ElementPath>
</Query>
You have to repeat this for all project types you want to include, create a hidden parameter for each project type then create a parameter to join them up and use the combined parameter to filter the data sets that get the data from the Reporting
database.
For other parameters in the ReadProjectStatus method see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg210536(v=office.15).aspx

I have 2 Project PWA servers, i know how to copy all the databases (Publishing, Draft, Reporting, archive, content) from one SQL server and copy it to the other PWA server so both server can be identical.
I need to only move a single project from a PWA server to another,
Moving the Project plan, actual time data, SharePoint site with all it's content
Is there a 3rd party tool that can be added on to the server to help me move single project plans? to different PWA servers?

Users and permissions for a small home server

Hello community,
I have been using Linux on the desktop for many years now, but unfortunately my knowledge about servers is very limited, almost non-existent. Therefore my question is most probably equally well fitting here and into the newbie corner.
I'm trying to set up a little home server which should be in charge of following tasks:
- CUPS print server in the local network
- access to shared files through NFS in the local network
- backup (again over NFS)
- an Owncloud server
- maybe a mail server in the long run (NSA, paranoia, etc. )
For now I have set up the print server, the NFS server and was working on the Owncloud installation, when Owncloud gave me some errors with users and permissions. So I was led to the idea of rethinking the users and permissions on server. So far there is only the root user who may do everything. This seems like a quite unsafe configuration. I'd like to make it safer. First, the printer, the backup and the locally shared files should be accessible from the local network only. SSH access should also be accessible locally only. The Owncloud file folder should be accessible from the internet, but of course only for the Owncloud users registered to the Owncloud server.
What is the best way to set up users and permissions for such a set up?
Thanks for any hints,
PhotonX

Hi, i think it depends who are you serving for, if you are just serving for a small office or home server or a big organization. The following quick thinking just came to me:
I think cups set automatically a system user of its own, and runs as it, so no trouble there. Cups also has the option to set users and it uses the system users as default, i think it depends in in how many printers/users your have in your server.Users that can manage cups are in the lp group.
For nfs every user should have their home, samba is also a good option if you have windows computer in your network and it integrates better with graphical file managers like nautilus in the clients side, but it is a hassle to configure.
You should run the web server (owncloud ) as it own user, maybe you can manage to set something up for owncloud in the filesystem, but owncloud uses a database, and the users for owncloud are stored in there, and they are not system users.
You can configure ssh for local use only enabling the corresponding subnets in your /etc/sshd.conf and optionally but recommended you can set a firewall and permissions. You can use iptables but i prefer ufw for simple setup.
I think you should read the wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/users_and_groups
and the other respective topics in the wiki.
Also as an advice i know that arch linux is a great distribution, but you have to do more work to mantain a stable server. I would recommend debian or another more conservative distro, but of course it is your choice.

Exchange 2013 ECP shows no databases. User moves fail referencing an old database of a crashed 2010 server

Our old 2010 server was migrated to 2013 but before removal, the 2010 server failed. Now when I go to my ECP > Servers > Databases, the list is empty. I can't move any users either as the list population fails because it can't find the
old database from the 2010 server. I thought I removed it all from ASDIEdit but something is lingering. Mail is flowing fine at the moment.

Server has been rebooted several times with no success. These are production mailboxes.

We are using SharePoint 2010 server with service pack 1 want to remove/delete old user profiles & site from server

Hi Team,
We are using SharePoint 2010 server with service pack 1, we want to remove/delete old user profiles, access & site from server
is there any script or feature available using that we can only remove dactivated/deleted/old user profiles, access & site.
Thanks

Take a look at Metalogix ControlPoint, which will compare user accounts on SharePoint to Active Directory and remove accounts that no longer exist in AD (or are disabled).

Can not send email from 2013 to 2010 server?

I've got an Exchange 2010 and 2013 coexistence scenario (migration project). I'm not able to send an email from a mailbox residing on Exchange 2013 to a mailbox residing to Exchange 2010. I've tested the following with powershell send-mailmessage:
Send-MailMessage -Body "" -To User2013 -SmtpServer 2010server -From "" -Subject "" > succesfull
Send-MailMessage -Body "" -To User2013 -SmtpServer 2013server -From "" -Subject "" > succesfull
Send-MailMessage -Body "" -To User2010 -SmtpServer 2010server -From "" -Subject "" > succesfull
Send-MailMessage -Body "" -To User2010 -SmtpServer 2013server -From "" -Subject "" > NOT succesfull
I also can send an email from an user on the Exchange 2013 server to our mailgateway (smarthost). I've added no additional receive connectors
on the Exchange 2013 server. The email that's not delivered remains in the Exchange 2013 queue. Exchange 2010 is still the main email server so all messages are delevired to this server (have not moved mailboxes yet).
We've got one 2010 server and one 2013 server with all roles installed.
What am I missing here, or will this work when I make Exchange 2013 the dedicated server?
Thnx Remco

Hi,
From your description, when you send an email from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010, the email will remain in the Exchange 2013 queue. Please check the error message in the Queue Viewer, if it is: "451 5.7.3 Cannot achieve Exchange Server authentication."
If yes, this issue is because the Exchange server can't authenticate with the remote Exchange server. Authentication is required for Exchange servers to route internal emails between them.
For more information, here is a KB for your reference:

Outlook 2010 "Server is unavailable" error when starting remote app

All,
I have recently built and configured a new server to run Remote Desktop Services. It in on Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit.
I have published numerous applications (e.g. Adobe, Visio, Project, etc. as well as Office 2010) to the host server. Everything works with the exception of Outlook 2010 (client of an Exchange 2010 server). When I or any of my users try to bring
it up in the RDS portal, it goes through the normal start-up of any Outlook first use and looks for an existing email account. As it is trying to load the user profile, an error pops up saying "The server is unavailable." Clicking "Retry" does
not work at all.
When I run Outlook directly from the RDS host server itself, it loads up and runs fine so I know the RDS server can contact the Exchange server.
Any ideas on why the Outlook application works on the host server but will not work when trying to run it through the RDS Web Access portal?
Thanks.

Could TFS 2013 build service connect to TFS 2010 server?

I am using the TFS 2010 since 2011, both TFS 2010 Server and TFS 2010 build service are installed on a separate Windows 2008 R2 x64 Server, I have application written in C# and .net 4.0 framework.
Recently, I want to upgrade the application to .net framework 4.5. I installed a Windows 2012 R2 x64 server and installed a TFS 2013 build service (since TFS 2010 build service doesn't support Windows 2012 R2 x64 server); however, the TFS
2013 build service seem to be not support the TFS 2010 server.
I need the old TFS 2010 build service to build the bug fix .net framework 4.0 (with other old dependency library) package for production and I need a new TFS 2013 build service to build the next version .net framework 4.5 (with upgrade dependency library) application.
Both new and old TFS build service have to be co-exist.
Does anyone know if it is possible to let TFS 2013 build service work with TFS 2010 server?
Or any suggestion on this scenario?

Hi Panco,
Based on your description, you can use TFS 2010 build service to build the .net framework 4.0 and .net framework 4.5 applications. You need to install the corresponding dependencies on the bulid machine before building. And also build on the build machine
locally make sure you can build successfully locally before TFS build.
Since you already set up TFS 2013 build service, you can configure it to a team project collection in TFS 2010 to have a try. As far as I know, seems it's fine to do the building. If you have other considerations or concerns, please elaborate
more details about your scenario.

Hi Rajukumar,
At the very first, please refer to the article below for installing CU on Project 2010 server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239177(v=office.14).aspx#Installation_steps
I found a blog for this issue:

Hi Bill
Thank you for your pos.
You can use the following command to check whether you have purchased the certificate of audiscovery.westmoreload-country.org in your organization:
Get-ExchangeCertificate –server CASServerName | fl
For example: you want to return all certificates stored on the Client Access server named ClientAccess01, you will type the follow command in EMS.
Get-ExchangeCertificate -Server ClientAccess01 | fl
If you didn’t purchased the certificate of audiscovery.westmoreload-country.org, you could contact your certificate supplier.
You could refer to the following link:

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best regard,

No Default Mail Client Error with Outlook 2010, Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server, and TAM

We are running a software package on a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server called TAM (The Agency Manager) along with Outlook 2010. The application uses a MAPI connection to retrieve mail data from Outlook to be able to send and receive messages inside
the application. On our individual PC's this works just fine, but on the Terminal Server users we get the message "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook
and set it as the default mail client."
I've tried the steps listed in KB 813745 which tells you to delete the registry keys and run a repair in Office, but that didn't resolve the issue. I've searched on this issue, but haven't found anything useful. Any suggestions would be much
appreciated.

Try to set DEP and add outlook.exe. I had outlook 2007 same problem. With DEP enabled and outlook, word en excel also added to the list it worked again.
You can find it under this computer, properties, then change settings. Click advanced tab and then select the first "settings" option.The click the "Data Execution Prevention" (DEP) and select the last option and add the office programs
there.
Hope this helps.

What needs to be done to rebuild a current Sharepoint 2010 Server farm to work as a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?

Hello Community
    Currently I have a Sharepoint 2010 Server farm.
    One server contains the database and DNS server
because it is the the domain controller.
    The other server Contains the Sharepoint 2010 Server software
and is the the application server where applications such as Metadata,
UPs, etc, reside (including web applications with sites built with the UI).
    Now I am going to change to Sharepoint 2013 Server because currently
there is no newer version of Sharepoint available.
    I am ready to rebuild the current Sharepoint 2010 farm configuration into
a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm from scratch.
    The question is what do needs to be added and\or changed to make the current
Sharepoint 2010 Server farm configuration work as a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

There is no direct in-place uprade method for SharePoint 2010 to 2013. You need to create a new SharePoint 2013 farm from scratch and attach service and content databases to upgrade them. Check out Upgrade
to SharePoint 2013 for more information about the process.
If you have another server, you would install SharePoint 2013 on this. If you don't, you'll need to remove SharePoint 2010 from your existing server and then install SharePoint 2013. Check out Hardware
and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 before starting to make sure your server meets the minimum requirements for SharePoint 2013:
Web server or application server in a three-tier farm
Pilot, user acceptance test, or production deployment of SharePoint Server 2013 or SharePoint Foundation 2013.

Installed Sharepoint 2010 Server SP2 Update; PSConfig succeeds but CA still shows "Upgrade Available"

I have installed SharePoint 2010 Server SP2. Central Administration shows the configuration database is at 14.0.7015.1000. I had to run PSConfig several times before it completed successfully due to missing features, setup files, etc. But
I got those cleaned up and finally got PSConfig to complete.
However, when I go to Farm Information it still shows "Upgrade Available" for the single WFE server we have.
When I run stsadm.exe -o localupgradestatus it shows me the following:
[2] content database(s) encountered.
[0] content database(s) still need upgrade or cannot be upgraded.
[23] site collection(s) are contained in the content databases.
[0] site collection(s) still need upgrade.
[53] other objects encountered, [12] of them still need upgrade or cannot be upgraded.
The 12 objects that cannot be upgraded are ancillary databases like:
StateService_[GUID]
Secure_Store_Service_DB_[GUID]
PerformancePoint Service Application_[GUID]
They all show "Cannot Upgrade" for the status.
Am I correct in thinking these are what's keeping the status at Upgrade Available? And if so how can I resolve?
If not, what else can be done to change that Upgrade Available status?
My goal is to get SP2 and the latest CU applied before trying to reinstall the User Profile Service.
Thank you.

use psconfig via command line:
> PSCONFIG.EXE -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait

I have deleted all the mailboxes, distribution groups, contacts, etc. but I am still unable to uninstall one database. When trying to delete the last database I get following error message:
The mailbox database 'Mailbox Database 2105185066' cannot be deleted.

If I run command "Get-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database 2105185066" -Arbitration | ft -Wrap -Auto", I get following result:

I suspect it is because of these "maiboxes" why I am unable to delete the database.
If I run command "Disable-Mailbox SystemMailbox{e0dc1c29-89c3-4034-b678-e6c29d823ed9} -Arbitration -DisableLastArbitrationMailboxAllowed ", I get following error message:
A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'e0dc1c29-89c3-4034-b678-e6c29d823ed9'.
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Disable-Mailbox], ParameterBindingException

Do you have any ideas how to delete the last database and uninstall the last Exchange 2010 server properly from the organization?

Hi,
I agree with Martina. This should be solved somehow without need to use ADSI Edit.
Martina, I did run the command you suggested (Get-mailbox -arbitration | disable-mailbox -DisableLastArbitrationMailboxAllowed), but unfortunately here is the result:
The operation couldn't be performed because object 'Company.local/Users/SystemMailbox{e0dc1c29-89c3-4034-b678-e6c29d823ed9}' couldn't be found on 'DC.Company.local'.
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Company.local/U...8-e6c29d823ed9}:MailboxIdParameter) [Disable-Mailbox], ManagementObjectNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 63BA19E1,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.DisableMailbox
The operation couldn't be performed because object 'Company.local/Users/FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042' couldn't be found on 'DC.Company.local'.
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Company.local/U...bf-00a95fa1e042:MailboxIdParameter) [Disable-Mailbox], ManagementObjectNotFoundException

Connection between the Exchange server and the Domain Controller (DC.Company.local) is working.
