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>

Email Notifications from Project 2013 has Project Server 2010 in the subject

When Project 2013 sends out task reminders it has "Task reminders - Microsoft Project Server 2010
notification service" in the subject line. Anyone know how or where this can be changed from 2010 to 2013.
New On premise installation of Project 2013 sp1

I think it is a known bug, not sure if it has been corrected in the latest CU. Contact MS, they should help you with a script:

Project Server 2010 - Different Schedule Dates for Different Users -- Same File

We have an issue regarding users viewing the same schedule, different machines.
The PMs have a schedule that was built in 2007 by the offshore team. We are running Project Server 2010 corporate, and they the PMs here on site have Project Professional 2010. Within the last couple of weeks, the PMs have noticed changes in
the dates.
When I open the schedule, I see the expected dates rendered in both PWA and Project Professional. Both draft and published versions are the same regardless of where the schedule is opened for editing. There are two PMs managing the schedules.
One sees what I see--the expected dates. The other sees differences in dates--months, in fact. Scheduled end date is 10/22/2013. When the second PM opens the schedule, he sees a scheduled end date of 2/17/2014.
I advised them that the offshore team needed to upgrade to 2010 due to the differences between 2007 and 2010. Additionally, and I could be wrong, having the server run in compability mode for so long (the upgrade was done in May 2013), is not ideal.
(Offshore team has since updated to 2010.)
Any thoughts on what could be causing this issue? Corrupt version of Professional? Settings askew?
Thank you,
L.D.

My bad, I didn't know that you were not using Project Server.
Then the file might be corrupted.
Try the
XML export and the
save for sharing method to repair it.

How to define a unique project level custom field in project server 2010?

Hi every one;
is it possible to define a unique project level custom field?
our client wants to have a unique custom field( project code) which doesn't allow users to save and publish projects with the same value.
for example if user A define a project and set "project code = 1" if user B define another project and wants to save "project code =1" for it, the server doesn't allow him to save this value and he has to change value for example to 2
thanks for any help

First of all you need to have Project server development environment also for coding visual studio hands on is required.
To start with PSI (Project Server interface)you need to have Development Environment of Project Server 2010.
you can get the overview from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms457477(v=office.14).asp
You
can get the information about SDK: Download SDK.

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!

Hello Vijay,
From error it seems to be the issue with the Project Work Category lookup table sorting. Could you please share what sorting option is selected for this Lookup table?
Please refer to
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/aee17d2b-5171-40f6-88aa-d4d15472c1d7/firm-with-complex-and-frequently-changing-org-chart-wants-to-have-its-ps2010s-rbs-lut-refreshed?forum=project2010custprog
You may run into this issue if sort order for the lookup table is not set to sort By Ascending or Descending.
If it set to "BY Row Number" then try to set to "By Ascending or Descending" and they try backup and restore again.
Thank you,

How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.

Hi ,
Can this be done.
How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.
I mean How to Disable approve/Reject Permission Once task approved in project server 2010.
Any Help Would be more than Welcome.

Hi Rohan,
Just talking about the tool capabilities, preventing a task approver (status manager) to approve/reject updates once he has already approved once is not possible out-of-the-box. You grant permissions to user: if you grant a user to approve task updates then
he has the permission to approve updates, no matter if it is the 2nd or 3rd time the task is approved or rejected.
Then of course you could do not custom development to do that.
I'd say that in order to help you, we would need to understand a little bit more your business need. Why do you need to achieve such a goal? We can surely propose you workaround.
Hope this helps.

How I to restore the Project Site Deleted on Project Server 2010 ?

Hi
I have a questions, I deleted a Project Site from project server 2010, but I need restore this site Do you have any way for restore the project site.
Thanks a lot for the help

Ademir,
With 2010, you don't have to attach content database to another PWA. We can restore the site using unattached content database from Central admin
1. Restore backup of content database in SQL server
2. Launch Central Admin and Navigate to >> Backup and Restore >> Recover data from unattached content database.
3. Enter restored database name and select option export site or list
4. Export your desired site
5. Restore exported site using stsadm command with import switch
stsadm -o import -url "<a href="http:///<pwainstancename>/<workspacename">http://<servername>/<pwainstancename>/<workspacename>" -filename "c:\<backupdir>\<workspacename>" -nofilecompression

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,

Create a defaut view for the MS Project Server 2010 client

Dear Forum,
how can I create a defaut view for the MS Project Server 2010 client?
I saved a template and set a default view under File -> Options ->Project View. I also did the same in the checked-out enterprise global. If I then close the client and re-open it my default view changes back again to the previous one (not the view
I set as a default view).
What explains this behaviour and what can I do? Any hints?
Thank you very much for your help!

Scheduler007 --
The view you selected by clicking File > Options > Project View is the default view for every new project you create from a blank project template. This is a global option, so setting it from the checked out Enterprise Global file serves no purpose.
When you select a view as your default view, you will see that view applied to the blank project that is opened when you launch Microsoft Project 2010, and you will see it applied if you create new blank projects. If you create enterprise templates for
people to use in your organization, you should simply apply the view to the template that you want as the default so that users will see this view immediately when they create a new project from the template. In addition, if you apply a view to an open
project, close and check in the project, and then reopen the project, you will see the last view applied in that project (as Guillaume correctly points out).
Beyond this, there is no method possible for the Project Server administrator to specify a default view for the Microsoft Project application used by the project managers in your organization. This is an option each PM must set. Hope this helps.

How to capture the user activities in Project Server 2010

Hi
I want to capture the user activities from Project Server 2010 like when a user has saved and published etc.
Is there any possibility that we can get the user activities data from sql server.
Please throw some light on the same.
Thanks
Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

Hi Geetha,
As far as I know, there is no such information stored in Project Server DB.
You can have this kind of information by project, such as the ProjectModifiedDate in the Reporting DB (MSP_EPMProject_userView). I also know that there is a PROJ_LAST_SAVED date in the Draft DB. But be aware that querying in the Draft DB is not supported
by MS.
Another way would be doing some custom code, storing in a separate DB each save and publish operation per user.
Hope this helps.

Unable to launch project schedule in project pro 2010 via the icon in project center on project server 2010

Unable to launch a project in project pro 2010 via the icon in project server 2010 project center. Nothing happens. The pull down "open" menu doesn't do anything either. Can't open the schedule in project pro in read-only or edit mode.
This is happens to a handful of project managers. Can't find a common thread.
Janice Weaver

Hi Brian - the latest 'weight on my shoulders' was vacation :) - so just catching up - first day back. We do have a fix coming in August CU for a problem that sounds very similar - but we would need to see your data to confirm if this is the case
or not. So the choices at the moment are to wait until we release the week after next, or open a support incident - but we would likely need assistance from your DBA to either run some queries or get us a copy of the DBs.
Best regards,
Brian.

Where can I find the web site ID of a project site in Project Server 2010?

Hi, I need to find the ID of the project site of a project in Project Server 2010 in order to be able to identify that web site in the Sharepoint Content DB (in the reporting DB, in Projects_View appears the URL of the project site but not its web
site ID). I need to list the documents stored in the project sites of the projects contained in the Project Center inside PWA.
Thank you very much
Regards
Carlos Negroni

Hi Mahesh:
Thanks but what I need is to link that ID with the related project in Project Server databases. Anyway I think I'll use the FullURL information to join the tables because that information appears in the Reporting Database of Project Server (although maybe
it is not the best alternative).
Regards

How to change the look and feel for Heading of quick launch menu in project server 2010

Hi
can someone tell me how to change the look and feel of Header names in quick launch.
I want the header to be displayed in Bold with Underline to it.
could this be possible for just header in quick launch in project server 2010.

Hi Rohan
It does not work this way. You have to use a content editor webpart.
See references below that might help you starting with this customisation:
