Restore Enterprise Resource Record

An active Resource was incorrectly deleted from Resource Center. The record has now been added back but the Resource cannot see any of his projects or tasks on his timesheet. I believe this is because he was made a Local Resource when
he was deleted. How can this Resource be added back to the Enterprise Resource Pool? When he is restored to the Enterprise Resource Pool will his project/tasks assignments be back or does he need to be assigned to them
again?

Hi Dennykat,
It has to be tested but here is my thought:
When deactivating or deleting the enterprise resource, it will be converted in the project plans into a local resource (keeping actual, work...). If you then recreate the resource with the exact same syntax and open the project plans, when publishing, Project
will detect that the local resource has the same name than an enterprise resource and propose you to replace it. Clicking "YES", it will thus recreate assignments for the enterprise resource, meaning tasks and timesheets.
This could be tedious since it requires to open and publish every project the resource was assigned to.
Once more, I haven't tested it.
Hope this helps.

Resource Center - Need to change a Local Resource to an Enterprise Resource

The Resource Record for a resource was accidently deleted. This resource was still assigned to active project tasks at the time of the delete. A new Resource Record was created but it has the resource as a Local Resource. How can I move
this resource back to the Enterprise Resource Pool?
As a Local Resource the Assignment Owner field on his assigned tasks are not populating, so he cannot see any tasks on his timesheets. Also, the resource cannot be assigned to any new project tasks because he cannot be added to the Project Enterprise
Pool.
Attempted to remove the Resource Record that was created using Delete Enterprise Objects -> Resources and Users but since the resource is Local and not Enterprise his record is not showing to select it for delete.
Would the Admin Restore->Enterprise Resource Pool and Calendars functionality put his original record back in place? I understand only one version of this backup is kept but that should be the version we currently have. What data might be
lost using this functionality? Any chance other users would be adversely impacted?
We are using Project Pro 2010

Hi Dennykat,
As mentionned in your previous post, restoring the resource pool should work, since it is restoring resources with their metadata and with the exact same UID. Thus the deleted and restored enterprise resource should have everything back (assignments, timesheets...).
Since I never tested such as process, I strongly advice to test it in the dev environment on a simple test case.
I remember that if also adviced you to recreate the enterprise resource and type in the resource sheet on one of the resource's project the exact enterprise resource name (exact same syntax), so Project should ask you when saving if you want to replace the
local resource by the enterprise one. Can you confirm that it didn't work?
Hope this helps.

Server 2012 R2 - The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter

We seem to be having an issue recently after introducing new Windows Server 2012 R2 servers where they fail to register DNS correctly. The Windows Firewall is off and the servers are on the same VLAN with no firewalls between them.
When I do an ipconfig /registerdns or wait 24 hours for the system to try we get the following error:
The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter
with settings:
Adapter Name : {4A0ECF05-193F-4BEA-AA46-BEC593BA752B}
Host Name : SRV-DATA
Primary Domain Suffix : internal.local
DNS server list :
192.168.0.50, 192.168.0.42
Sent update to server : <?>
IP Address(es) :
192.168.0.99
The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the DNS server contacted refused the update request. The reasons for this might be (a) you are not allowed to update the specified DNS domain name, or (b) because the DNS server authoritative
for this name does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol.
To register the DNS host (A or AAAA) resource records using the specific DNS domain name and IP addresses for this adapter, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator.
On our DNS server we have set for the internal.local zone Secure Updates only so that looks good because it is Active Directory that should be handling this authentication to update the record I assume. Just to mention that when also doing an ipconfig /regsiterdns
the update fails within a few seconds.
Source: DNS Clients Events
Event ID: 8018
User: NETWORK SERVICE
This issue is only affecting Windows Server 2012 R2 clients and testing with Windows Server 2008 R2 clients works no issues. So is this a mis-configuration or a bug with Windows 2012 R2? I have checked all DNS settings on client / server which all look good
to me so reaching out now to see if anyone has any ideas?
Environment:
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Forest/Domain Levels 2012 R2)
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Client machines (Physical and Virtual)
- Windows Server 2008 R2 Client machines (Physical and Virtual)

The zone is configured as "Secure Only"
The PDC is the SOA for the zone
I dont have a packet capture from the DC, only the client.
The query you asked me to run is too long to paste in here, however this is the DNS zone it cannot update:

Project Server 2010 - Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization limitations

Greetings again.
I have a quick question about the limitations of Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization. Specifically, what has your experience
been with extremely large numbers of users (10k plus). Is anyone aware of a
practical limit of users in your AD group you would recommend when using the
Schedule Synchronization feature on a nightly or weekly basis?
There is a caveat to this question however. The client has decided (perhaps for some misinformed reasons) to allow access for every user, to every
project site, within their PWA environment. They’ve selected the View Project Site option within the
Categories for the Team Members PWA Group for which 90% of their intended users reside. So when we ran a couple test syncs in DEV with a smaller AD group of about 8,000 users, the sync understandably
lasted upwards of 18 hours. Obviously unacceptable for a PROD environment on a nightly basis and not necessarily ideal for a weekly sync either.
Experience in addition to documents like these, “Best
practices for managing a large number of resources in Project Server 2010” tell me that we are way over the practical limit of a scheduled resource pool synchronization...IF
the client really desires that all users access all their sites. But before I submit my recommendations, I wanted to check with the community just in case others may have found a way to synchronize large numbers of users (10k plus) on a nightly or weekly
basis, within a reasonable time frame AND allowed all users to access all sites within PWA.
What do you think?
As always, thanks for your help.
Chris Addis - MCTS

Hello Hrishi.
My delayed response has been due to a large amount of testing we have been performing on this particular topic. Here is an update, please feel free to provide feedback.
We went back to testing and spent more time reviewing the documents:
Best practices for managing a large number of resources in Project Server 2010 and
SharePoint Server 2010 capacity management: Software boundaries and limits. Our team interpreted those documents as saying, 1,000 security
scopes per site is a recommended limit. It does not say it’s a hard limit, just a recommended limit. “When the recommended unique security scope boundaries are exceeded, performance issue can occur.”
So we decided to perform some tests (31 in total) to try and get a gage of what we are seeing.
We needed to establish a baseline first. So we performed a series of 23 Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronizations with various settings in a clean, Out of the Box, environment in order to see some consistent numbers. Here is it’s summary:
Our AD group of 8,000 users took about 32 minutes, on average, every time to sync. The difference between the first sync and last sync differed only by 1-3 minutes.
Adding 40 project sites increased the average sync time from 32 to 120 minutes.
Adding 100 users to each of those 40 project sites, did not increase the sync times.
One setting (identified at this time) reduced the synchronization time. It was the
Project Site Permissions check box found within the Project Web App > Server Settings > Project Site Provisioning Settings area. By deselecting this check box we reduced or synchronization time back to the 32 minute
average.
The View Project Site check box within the Project Web App > Server Settings > Manage Groups > Team Members group had no apparent effect on the sync times besides what we had gleaned from the Microsoft documentation.
Naturally, this left us with a problem. As I’m sure you know, by deselecting the check box (Project Site Permissions), our project sites are now (figuratively speaking) orphans with no connection to the parent site. This generates
a new set of issues. For example:
Newly created project sites cannot be accessed by the owner and team members. They will require someone like the farm admin to come in behind them and add the intended users to the project site along with their required permissions.
All current and futures sites will no longer have users added via the standard method of building a team and publishing the project, but will have to be added manually.
You can use the Synchronize option found within Project Web App > Server Settings > Project Sites page, but that kinda defeats the purpose. It would require constant updating on a per site basis to keep up with
PM changes. Not very sensible, but it does work.
With this baseline information, we moved our tests into our DEV environment which somewhat mimics our PROD environment. This environment has 352 project sites and we performed 8 tests. This is where we had some large sync time numbers.
Here is the DEV test summary:
With the Project Site Permissions check box cleared, our AD group of 8,000 users took on average 30 minutes to sync. This was in line with our baseline times. With the exception of one test sync that took 99 minutes to complete.
That anomaly is acquiescent with what I’ve seen over the years. Sometimes syncs do some unusual things.
With the Project Site Permissions check box selected, our AD group of 8,000 users took on average 690 minutes (11.5 hours) to sync. Unacceptable of course.
So here’s what we’ve learned when dealing with extremely large numbers of active directory users in your Resource Pool sync:
We did not see a decrease in subsequent sync times after the initial Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronization as some might expect.
Our attempt to decrease sync time via the option of removing the View Project Sites was not successful. (Unless we interpreted Microsoft's document incorrectly.)
However, our interpretation of the recommended software boundaries and limits of SharePoint Server 2010 as it pertains to security scopes per site at 1,000, appears to be correct.
Using the option of clearing the Project Site Permissions does produce a reduction in AD sync time, but at a cost segregating your project sites and thus the creation of new processes of maintaining them.
I’ll remind others that these results are particular to our environments, there may still be exceptions yet to discover. Others may see numbers contrary to ours.
The biggest surprise to some members on our team (myself excluded) was that we did not see a reduced sync time after any of our initial syncs. Some are under the impression that after your initial sync, you should see reduced sync times. I haven’t
found that to be the absolute case in all situations, just in some situations. The reason for this still eludes me. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I’ll let this sit a bit longer, but if no one disagrees with the results, I think we have our answer:
The number of project sites directly affects your Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronizations if you are using the
Project Site Permissions option. If you plan on synchronizing over 1,000 users
and you have a large number of project sites, proceed with the knowledge that you may have performance issues and long sync times.
As always, I’d love to hear from you or others just in case I’m missing something.

How Many Enterprise Resources Can Be Checked-Out at Any One Time?

Hi Folks,
Using Project Server Online, I am trying to select and edit a resource pool containing approximately 1200 enterprise resources in MS Project Professional 2013. I can open a few at a time, but when I "select all" it does not do anything.
Is there a limit on how many enterprise resources we can check out at a time?
Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

OK..I was able to edit 495 resources at a given time. The moment I click 496th resource, nothing happens when I click the Open in Project button.
So, to Dale's point, there seems to be some kind of limit on the number of resources that can be edited at any given time, but what's puzzling is that the limit seems to be different for every tenant.
I will try and find more information, but at this point, the solution is something you already know. Edit few resources at a time.
Cheers,

Project Templates with Enterprise Resources

I'm using Project Server 2013 ( latets updates installed for both Client and Server)
I've created a project template and attached this to a project type. My template has enterprise resources speciified. So far so good.
Now I'm trying to create a project using this template and I'm getting some errors. (See below)
As soon as I remove the resources from my template the project creates fine.
It looks like 'rsResourceCannotAddLocalWithSameNameAsEnterprise' in the error below means that Project Server looks at the resource in the template and considers the resources in the template always to be a local resources. And of
course the resource already exists in my enterprise resources and therefore the project creation fails.

My questions are:
Are Enterprise Resources in templates supported?
Is there a way around this? We're trying to make it easy to select a subset of the enterprise resources available.

I have experienced this exact same thing and my situation is highly irregular.
This is with Project Server 2013.
I had an EPT with a Project Schedule that had Generic Enterprise Resources assigned and was able to create new projects without problems using the EPT from the New button in the Project Centre in PWA.
I was creating new projects to test and demonstrate Portfolio Analysis and was able to model Organisational Capacity represented by my Generic Resources and also the Surplus/Deficit element of Resource Constraints on a Portfolio. The Hired Resource Report
was failing.
A Service Pack and Cumulative update were applied to the Server and now I cannot create new projects using EPTs that have a project schedule with Generic Enterprise Resources assigned to tasks in the schedule.
I checked the error message for the Failed and Blocking job in the queue and the GUIDs were for my Generic Enterprise Resources. I deleted the offending Generic Enterprise Resources and then re-created them anew, edited the Project Template to have
these Generic Enterprise Resources on the Project Team and randomly assigned them to tasks in the schedule to generate a notional demand for work in the Project Template. I then Saved the Template in Project as a new Project Template and edited my EPT
to reference this new Project Schedule.
Same error encountered again.
Perversely I can open the Template schedule in Project Professional and do Save As and save it as a new project to the Server and that works just fine - the schedule is visible in the Project Centre and I can edit the schedule in both Project Pro and in
PWA.
My hunch is that the Cumulative Update and Service Pack which were applied to try and resolve the failing "Hired Resources Report" in Portfolio Analysis, which sadly it didn't resolve - has probably provoked this interesting challenge as it is
the only material thing to change on the Server during the time that this issue has manifested itself.
Am I the only one to encounter this?

Project Server 2013 AD Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization Exception

I am looking for assistance from the project server community.

Hi,
I also get the same error when I'm trying to do the synchronization between Enterprise Resource Pool and Active Directory.
I am in a single domain topology between Project Server 2013 and AD, and I'm doning the synchronization with the farm admin account, who has read/write access to AD.

Filter Enterprise Resources Dialog Box

Hello,
Today, after create new Enterprise Resource (Actually we have 2004 Enterprise Resource) when I try to add Resource in Project Professional 2010 using Build Team from Enterprise... show me a Dialog Box named "Filter Enterprise Resource" for to filter
the resource. My question is if exist a way for this dialog box not show me and show me directly the window Build Team for "Project"
Thanks for your answers

Christian --
Microsoft Project Professional 2010 displays the Filter Enterprise Resource dialog automatically when you have 1,000 or more resources in your Enterprise Resource Pool. There is no way to force the system NOT to show it. I would recommend that
you explain to your PMs why they are seeing the dialog, and then recommend that they simply click the OK button to proceed unless they actually want to filter. After a while, they will get used to seeing this dialog. Hope this helps.

Using Enterprise Resources

Hi,
Normally when we add Users as enterprise resources in the project server. Project manager would be able to add the users in project plan after which the user would be able to access PWA to enter time.
My question is does microsoft project server 2007 has an option where I want to add the user as Enterprise resource but not let the resource log into pwa and enter efforts.Idea is to have resources as enterprise resources in Project plan. Do we have
any option in Project server to do this. Please advise
Thanks
MP

Hi,
A resource which is only a resource and not a user (meaning with no valid AD account) cannot log in any way to Project Server (including PWA) thus cannot use any feature like timesheet or project site.
Project Server 2010 introduced a feature called "delegation" which allows a user submitting
a timesheet (or doing any other operation) on behalf of another user. The restriction is that it applies only to users and not resources with no valid account.
Finally, to do waht you want to do, I'd suggest to use the assignment owner column in MS Project Pro. If a task is assigned to a resource (and not a user), it will not be able to create and submit a timesheet, neither his manager to act of his behalf. But
if the manager enters his name for the assignment in the assignment owner column in MS Project Pro and publishes the project plan, then he'll receive the assignment in his own timesheet. This feature allows giving a status update and/or asubmitting timesheet
on behalf of someone who cannot do it for any reason, like for a customer who does not have a CAL (licence).
Hope this helps,

Replacing local resources with enterprise resources on assignments

Hi,
After migrating our PS2007 environment to 2013 we encountered a severe problem with the Timesheet view, it seems to be corrupt. We decided to move the projects from one 2013 instance to another, we did this by exporting the projetcs to MPP files and the
publishing them to the new insance and we also used the FluentPro migrator 2013 tool. In both situations for each project we get prompted if the local resources should be replaced by the Enterprise resources found on the PS2013 server, we would very much like
that but this feature doesn't seem to work. We have to add the Enterprise resources manually and then replace the local resources one by one on the assignments. Since we have quite some projects with assignments this is undoable. Is this a known issue or are
there perhaps some work arounds?

Other member computers and domain controllers in the domain or forest will not be able to locate this domain controller. This domain controller will not be able to provide a full suite of services.
Resolution:
Ensure that "DcByGuid" is not configured in the "DnsAvoidRegisteredRecords" list, either through Group Policy or through the registry. Restart the Netlogon service. Verify that the DNS service (SRV) resource record "_ldap._tcp.9a5f3c17-e7ac-48f7-ab42-bf1ea621a6f5.domains._msdcs.cmedia.local", pointing to the local domain controller "CM-DC4-NY01.cmedia.local", is registered in DNS.

I've tried scanning and then re-scanning every single entry in DNS Manager and do not see any reference to this specific GUID mentioned, nor do I see any other domain controllers referenced that should not be in there. The two 2012r2 and the 2008r2 domain
controllers are the only ones listed in DNS Manager... the 2003r2 mentioned earlier failed and was removed.

Just to chime in, I noticed that you said you have one 2008 R2 DC, and two 2012 DCs.
I also noticed in the ipconfig /all that all DCs are pointint to themselves for DNS. We usually like to see them point to a partner, then itslelf as the second entry, w hether loopback or by its own IP.
Based on that, what I suggest to level the playing field by choosing the WIndows 2008 R2 DC as the first DNS on all DCs and only administer DNS using that DC. The reason I chose that is because of the least common denominator is what we rather use so we
don't invoke any new features in the newer 2012 DNS console that 2008 R2 may not understand. After that's done, on each DC run (and you can use a PowerShell window to run this):
Rename the system32\config\netlogon.dns and netlogon.dnb files by suffixing ".old" to the file.
ipconfig /registerdns
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon
Then re-run the dcdiag /e /c /v.
Post your results, please.

I thought the DNS entries were supposed to be the other way around? point to themselves first and a partner as secondary? regardless, as requested, I've changed it to what you've prescribed where they point to the 2008r2 server as the primary with themselves
as the secondary. I've also followed the steps to what seems like refreshing the DNS? on each of the DCs. Here's the output from dcdiag /e /c /v

Change Default resources Assignment Owner in Project Professional, in the checked-out Enterprise Resource Pool?

Hi,
i'm not able to change the default Assignment Owner (massive) in the Checked-out Enterprise resource pool in Project Professional 2013.
I've also unlocked the "Windows account edit" in the Register Editor.
Do you know if is this possible or i have to change it for each resource one by one???
Thanks
Best regards
Daniele

Hello Daniele,
I think what you are seeing is by design behavior. Per below article you can set the Default Assignment owner in Project Web Access and it appears in various places in Project client.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/project-help/default-assignment-owner-resource-field-HA010167482.aspx
If you want to set the same default assignment owner for multiple resources then you can try bulk edit option in resource center.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Kiran K.

Code for assignment for local and enterprise resource to a task?

Greetings,
I have programming in VB.net a code, that assiged a local resource to a task:
Ass=ActiveProject.Resources.Item(RessNummer).Assignments.Add(t_temp.ID)
If I use this code with enterprise resource, this error occured:
"NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code"
How can I write
the code
so that it works for both
types of resources?
Thank you!
Michael

Hi,
They should both work the same way. So do you have the Enterprise Resource added to the project? Use the
Application.EnterpriseResourceGet method to do this.

Sync extra AD attributes to Enterprise Resources

Working with Project Server 2013...
I am looking for a way to bring in AD attributes like employeeID and physicalDeliveryOfficeName and have them added and updated to user resources when running the "AD Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization". I cannot find a way to add any
extra attributes for the sync job to connect to the resource. Can this be done?

Hi Nate,
You should not write directly to project DB. To create/update Resource Custom fields in Project Server 2013, you can use .NET based Client side object model (CSOM)
Your starting point to read about CSOM based Project Server API for custom fields will be
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.projectserver.client.projectcontext.customfields_di_pj14mref(v=office.15).aspx
Hammad Arif EPM Advice Blog
Hello Hammad,
have you updated enterpriseresource customfields with CSOM yet ?
Regarding informations from the Project Customization and Programming forum and after checking it on a dev system, i come to the conclusion that it is not possible with CSOM for resource level customfields (...at least not yet).
Of course you can go with the PSI resource service (web/wcf), but only if you develop for on premise installations not for project online.
So, question is how do we get customer resource data, from AD or 3rd party system, into ProjectOnline, without entering it manually :-)
