Project Online, editing a user/resource: The User Logon Account always displays an error

New Project Online account. I changed the security mode from SharePoint to Project Server but I believe this was happening prior to that change. All resources are selected to be associated to a user account. This happens in both Resource
Center and Manage Users.
Every time I go to edit a resource, the User Authentication section contains the error "Multiple entries matched, please click to resolve.". I am unable to edit the user without first deleting the entry and selecting the same user name again. Only
one user ever comes up in the dropdown options and it always allows me to then save that resource record.
Please advise. I would like to have an answer before I hand this off to the PMO administrator who will be managing resources.

Hello, this is something I believe Microsoft are aware of so I guess will be resolved soon. This affects all tenants, well all tenants I have seen anyway! Paul

Project Online - Can't Delete Resource and User from Delete Enterprise Objects

I would like to link a resource account to a user account but I ran into an error: "The resource account
is already in use.". This is a known issue which I attempted to resolve by following the instructions in KB2881398.
However when deleting the selected resource from Delete Enterprise Objects I get a message indicating success ("The
selected Resources and Users have been deleted.") but the duplicate user is still in the listing in Delete Enterprise Objects and when attempting to link the remaining resource to a user logon account I still get the error
"The resource account is already in use."
Why is the user not deleted even though Delete Enterprise Objects reports success and how can I delete these duplicates to be able to successfully link the account?

Hi,
This might be due to your Exchange Sync issue, where your project workspace is unable to delete that user from local DB. Try following steps to diagnose the problem:
1) Go to your Resource Pool, DELETE a resource.
2) While resource is being Deleted, open another window
Server Settings -> Manage Queue Jobs
3) Here you can view the progress of your current Resource Deletion update, check if all goes smooth and your Resource is deleted successfully by showing process completion 100% :
( to view any error look at the
last column of table on Manage Queue Job page)
4) Cross check your Resource by running Resource Availability Report.
Basically this will give you a fair idea of your resource deletion problems and how system is responding to it.

Bug after updating User Logon Account (using AD Integrated Windows Authentication)

Hello,
I am using Integrated Windows Authentication in Project Server. And I have changed one user Active Directory (AD) useraccount name…
Then when I go to "Manage Users" page in Project Server, I see that the new data information wasn’t updated with "Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization" (I forced the Synchronization and still nothing aspens)…
So I checked the "Prevent Active Directory synchronization" checkbox for this user (in Project Server), and I changed the "User logon account" field manually, then after I save, the logon account isn’t uploaded… It shows the previous useraccount
name.
The only change made in the AD account name was that we changed the "Ç" character to "C".
In the AD this accountname no longer have the "Ç" character...
So why does the accountname in Project Server shows the "Ç" character instead of "C"?

Hi Mario,
The change is actually not reflecting in SharePoint. If I am not wrong, you are actually talking about the display name on the top right side of the page which is actually pulled from SharePoint content database where PWA site collection is residing.
If that is the case, then you will have to delete the user from SharePoint and add him back. Or, if you need more details on how to do this, you can open a case with MS.

Project Online Edit Schedule Permissions

I'm using Sharepoint Groups for Project Online, and for some reason when a user is in the Owners group (full control) of a project, he can edit the schedule, but when I put him in a custom group, Managers (ALSO with full control), Edit schedule is greyed
out. Just for fun I deleted the OOTB owners group in one project now ONLY site collection admins can edit the project schedule. Any help appreciated.

Hi Alex,
If you are using SharePoint Permission Mode, you could not create additional custom group. If you need more management of your user permissions, you could change to Project Permission Mode.

Project server 2010 don't respect the 'Choose an account' option

We have in our company Project Server 2010.
We use to create the 2 URLs accounts for all users through the Create Accounts and choose the 'Choose an account' option so the users can select weather to work offline ("Computer") or from one of the URLs.
We encountered two cases already, that the Project Pro don't respect the
'Choose an account' option -
Every time we select the 'Choose an account' radio botton and close the Project Pro it automatically open the default account without showing the accounts window and switches back to 'Use my default account'.
If these 2 users interested in working offline they have to swich it manually only after the default account opens but they cannot open the second URL.
Does anyone know of such a case and is there a workaround to solve it?

Hi Maya,<o:p></o:p>
Do you see this behavior on multiple machines or single machine?<o:p></o:p>
Try removing the accounts and recreating it again with "Choose an account" option and check if that helps<o:p></o:p>
Also let us know what value you see for the "Autoconnect" registry key at below location?<o:p></o:p>

TS3999 calandar on my macpro says its off an when I try to take it online I get this message: The request for account "iCloud" failed. The server responded with "507" to operation CalDAVAddCalendarQueueableOperation.

My calandar on mac pro isn't online, when I try to take it online it says:
The request for account “iCloud” failed.
The server responded with
“507”
to operation CalDAVAddCalendarQueueableOperation.
How do I fix it? It's not syncing with my phone or ipad or icloud online. Thanks

In System Preferences>iCloud, click the account button, log off then back on.

Is there a way to hide the task bar that always displays in Mac OS?

I'm referring to the area shown in the attached image.

The menu bar is needed to turn off the Mac and to access to all the tools of all apps, so it's necessary to keep it there. Also, it can only be hidden when you are running a full-screen app (near all apps on OS X Lion and Mountain Lion work in this mode)

HT201210 WHAT AM I GOING TO DO IF STILL THE ERROR OCCURS 1602..IVE DONE ALL THE RESOLUTION BUT IT ALWAYS HAVE AN ERROR?

..ERROR 1602 OCCURS... WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? IS THERE ANOTHER OPTION OR SOLUTION ASIDE FROM APPLE SUPPORT PROCEDURES...

Has you iPad been jailbroken?
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also do a Google search using iPad error 1602 & you'll get many other suggestions.

Duplicated resources on Project Online

Creating a user when a respective resource already exists, results in a duplicated resource.
This is a Project Online implementation based on Project Server permissions mode.
Consider this scenario:
There are 40 employees in the organization: 2 executives, a few project managers and the rest are team members. License for Project Online is purchased for only 10 employees.
The PMO creates users for the 10 employees on Project Online:
SharePoint users are created: Web AppàAdminàOffice
365àUsers and Groups
Project Online users are created: Web AppàProjectsàPWA
SettingsàManage usersàNew useràUser
logon account: type SharePoint user; Mark: "User can be assigned as a resource"
The PMO creates the other 30 employees as resources on Project Online on Enterprise Resource Pool.
At this point, all 40 employees are resources on Project Online.
After a while, additional 5 licenses are purchased. Steps 2.a and 2.b are performed for the respective employees.
In this scenario, there are 5 employees who are duplicated on Resource Center, i.e. appear twice: one is a non-user resource, and the over is a user who is also a resource.
How can I avoid the resources' duplication?

When employees are already present as ressource in Resource center then you need not to create new user for same employee.
To avoid this situation
Open Resource center from PWA then Click on Resource to whom you want to make user then Click on Edit and then click on Associate Resource with user account then give AD account for reosurce and add to the group and click on same.
Once you will do this your resource will also work as User and there will be not duplication.

Project Server 2010 - Updated User Profile - Display Name is Old Name

Similar to question"It shows the Domain\Logon account instead the User Name (up right corner)" but not quite the same. I also checked on the related topics list and could not find a solution.
We have a Resource in Project Server 2010 whose name changed. This included a change to her loginID as well as her email address. I went in to PWA > Server Settings > Security > Manage Users and changed the
Name, Email Address, and User Login Account fields accordingly. When the user goes into Project Server or any of the Project Sites, her old User Name is reflected. If she accesses any other SharePoint site (not associated with Project Server) her
new name shows up in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
We do not have AD Synchronization turned on.
How can we edit the name that appears in the upper right corner of the screen?

Hi,
Use Display name shown on right hand site is not from PWA, its from SharePoint User profile. When we make change to user display name, sometime SharePoint Still retain the old account and also add new account. To fix the issue we have to remove the user
profile from PWA root site.
Open PWA and navigate to following path
Site Actions>>Site Settings>>People and Groups
Click on More from left hand site list of groups
Select appropriate group, belongs to the user
Select the user and from Actions tab remove the user. (you may see two entries old and new), Either you can delete both or click on each account to validate correct user ID.
Once again navigate to PWA>>Server Settings>>Manage User
Edit affected user and click on Save
Have user log on to PWA and validate the result.

You could make the project and event on an external drive and move the drive from machine to machine.

Authentication using CSOM with Project Online

How are we to connect to Project Online with CSOM? All the SDK articles do not include any type of authentication. So if we are trying to use the CSOM to list out projects, and I try to create a credentials object and pass that to the ProjectContext.Credentials,
how would this work with the Project Online solution?
If I try to use the standard network credentials, I get "(403) Forbidden" when I pass in my onmicrosoft.com account and password for credentials. I am the admin on my instance.
So a little help on understanding how to connect remotely to Project Online via CSOM would be great.
Here is a sample PowerShell script I am using. Same result in C# too:
Add-Type -Path 'C:\Sync\Microsoft EPM\Scripts\Microsoft.ProjectServer.Client.dll'
$credentials = Get-Credential "[email protected]"
$pwaPath = "https://bossnunyatest.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa"
$projContext = New-Object Microsoft.ProjectServer.Client.ProjectContext($pwapath)
$projContext.Credentials = $credentials
$projContext.Load($projContext.Projects)
$projContext.ExecuteQuery()
#Receive (403): Forbidden although I am admin
#This works fine against OnPrem
$projContext.Projects|select Id,Name
Thanks,
Kirk

Project Online is a part of SharePoint. Programmatically accessing Project Online uses the procedures that are described in the Office and SharePoint app development SDK; see
Build apps for SharePoint. PowerShell can be used to administer Project Server 2013 (Windows
PowerShell cmdlets for Project Server 2013); I don't know of a way that PowerShell could be used with the CSOM for Project Online.
App development with the CSOM requires Visual Studio 2012 with the Office and SharePoint tools and other client components installed. See
How to: Set up an environment for developing apps for SharePoint on Office 365. The simplest way to start is to create a SharePoint-hosted app; the other app types require using
OAuth. The procedures for Project Online are essentially the same as described in How to: Create a basic SharePoint-hosted app, except you'd provide the URL of your PWA site
instead of the URL for SharePoint, and instead of the SP.ClientContext, you use
$(document).ready(function () {
var projContext = PS.ProjectContext.get_current();
var pwaWeb = projContext.get_web();
... and in the Default.aspx page, set a reference to PS.js, e.g.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/ps.debug.js"></script>

Development tools for Project/Server Project Online in O365

Hello,
My company is seeking to unify it's IT PMO using Project Server or Project Online. I notivced that the Project Server certs have been deprecated and the pages ar eno longer available. Does that mean Project Online is the replacement/continuiation of that
product?
If so, what are some development tools you would advise for me to have to be able to develop/modiify and administrate Project Online in O365?
Thanks,
T

Hi,
Indeed Project Server and Project Online are 2 different products. You have to notice that Microsoft regularly releases new version of Project Server (2003, 2007, 2010, 2013). Some old version feature might be deprecated indeed. Moreover Project Online is
a new version on the Microsoft solution that doesn't require to have on-premise infra.
Note also that Project Onlie is meant to be used quite out-of-the-box whereas Project Server on premise allows you doing custom development.

How to install Project Online and Project Pro for Office 365

Hello,
Can someone please explain where can I find reliable and exploitable step by step process to install
Project Online and Project Pro for Office 365. I tried for several weeks with no avail.
All the links I followed led to
an impasse.
Thanks for your help

WLID1966,
I am not sure if there is a step by step process detailed anywhere, but that possible because it is fairly easy to get started. The steps below may vary sligtly because I am using a preview version..
1) you would sign up for Project Pro for Office 365 from this link (or pursue through your organization) : http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project/enterprise-project-and-portfolio-management-subscription-project-online-with-project-pro-for-office-365-FX104002972.aspx
2) Once you are setup with Office 365 account and project online, you would go into the settings as shown below
3) Once you click on software, you should see the below, and then click Install to install Project Pro.
