Sending e-mail alerts in Microsoft Project 2010

I'm using Microsoft Project 2010 in creating my project. While adding my tasks I want to be able to send an e-mail alert to my resources indicating a task is coming up or the task is overdue. What do I have to do?

Script to send a mail alert whenever server boot

hi,
I need a shell or perl script to send a mail alert to user whenever server boot, restart and shutdown.because in my office power problem is there.So the server restarted intermediatly.Kindly any one give a script to rectify my problem.

If the server isat all important and you have a power problem, do consider getting a UPS. It might recover OK most times from power cuts (especially if you're on ZFS), but if you get other power problems like brown-outs and spikes, you might one day regret leaving it connected to a bad mains feed. Choose a mainstream brand like APC to be sure of Solaris support. The line-interactive versions, e.g. SmartUPS will recondition the mains waveform as well as maintaining supply during a power cut.

Microsoft Project 2010 Error/Bug Using Filters and AutoFilters

Dear Community Members/Team,
I came across an error/bug while using Filter and AutoFilter options in Microsoft Project 2010. The details are as under:
I have an MS Project 2010 file which has total 3049 activities (IDs).
The linking process (predecessors and successors) is almost complete.
In MS Project 2010 software console, in the bottom left most corner, I have right clicked and enabled the options of "Filter" and "AutoFilter".
In the "View" tab located at top console, I have selected "[No Filter] against the "Filter" icon. Also, from the drop down arrow against the "Filter"
icon, I have enabled "Display AutoFilter". As a result I can see drop down arrows in front of all columns displayed in the file.
I have displayed columns "Duration", "Start", "Finish", "Total Slack", etc.
I used the drop down arrow appearing in front of "Total Slack" column, and I can see some options. At the bottom I can see all the "Total Slack" values with
scroll option available and all the boxes here are checked. I remove the check box in "Select All" field and manually select any random value such as "-11.17 wks".
To my surprise, some values when selected, they are displayed correctly with the relevant activities shown. However some of the values which I select are not appearing and the relevant
activities are not shown and only empty rows are shown. So I use "Clear Filter" and try some other option.
Now, to find those activities, I have to click on the drop down arrow in front of "Total Slack" column, Go to "Filters", and select the last option "Custom".
Now I select show rows where Total Slack "equals" and I select any value from drop down arrow appearing in front of "equals", I can see all those values of "Total Slack" and I randomly select the same value for e.g. "-11.17
wks". This time the relevant activity is displayed correctly which was not shown by using the above method of selecting a certain value by selecting a check box from drop down arrow appearing against any column.
I hope to have a response from the community.
Regards,
Usman

Hi Usman,
Strangely we are having the exact same discussion with another member here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/0ae3530f-6760-4ef9-afd9-6028258a490e/autofilter-feature-malfunctioning?forum=projectprofessional2010general
Please go through this thread and tell us if it brings some light. Particularly try with a brand new file to reproduce the error. It could see the error on Ahmad's file, but couldn't reproduce it on a brand new file.
Hope this helps,

There was a problem sending the command to the program when opening Microsoft Project 2010 files

When opening MS Project 2010 files from the file and print server, I receive "There was a problem sending the command to the program." Copy the same file to my local drive and the file opens fine. This can be repeated by several other
users. Created a simple project file and once the size hit 1 MB, the error appeared. The error appears on all files over 1 MB.
I am a domain admin, so it is not a rights issue. This does not seem to be a network latency issue, the file copies extremely fast.
Any ideas?

This message appears to be caused by Windows Explorer trying to send old-fashioned DDE messages to the Application.
Since MS Project has no "Ignore DDE messages" setting you might want to go change the compatibility settings for WinProj.EXE (and any shortcut to it) to Windows 7 or greater. Hopefully then Windows Explorer will stop trying to send DDE messages.
Another possible culprit is older versions of the WinZip explorer extensions - I would disable them as well.
Good luck,
James.

How to send e-mail alert to the user job is successful or failed.

Hi Experts,
I have scheduled a job using DBMS_JOB Package; in this job I am calling a procedure.
How can we send an e-mail(alert) to the user if the job is successful (or) job fails.
If the job is successfully completed, then we have to send mail as “Job is completed successfully along with job name”.
If the job fails we have to send email as “error message of the job along with job name”(why the job is failed).
This alert should be sending automatically no manual intervention.
Please help me.

Hi,
I think you can do by creating mailing procedures and call it in the loop and outside the loop.
There would be two procedure one in inside loop which will execute after successfull completion of the loop.
Other would be in the exception block like i shown in the below code you have written;
V_variable_1 you can use as a parameter for what is the error occured.
like suppose your mailing procedure name is Status_email and Status_email_1.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE APPS_GLOBAL.arc_procedure (P_ID IN NUMBER)
     IS
     CURSOR C IS SELECT id,table_name,archive_table_name,where_condition
     FROM apps_global.control_ram
     WHERE id = p_id
     ORDER BY id, table_name;

How to Block send e-mail by telnet using Exchange 2010

Hi
I have Exchange 2010 SP3 server (Edge and Database servers).
When i logon to exchange server: telnet mail.domain.com 25using commands:
mail from:[email protected]
rcpt to:[email protected]
I can send e-mails without password.
How to block it? What is wrong with this server settings?
Kind Regards Tomasz

you can change the receive connector that is listening on port 25 to require authentication removing the anonymous the problem will be every server that sends you email will need to have a password on your server so you will not receive email
form anyone unless they have the password configured if you only want to receive email on this server from another trusted server than this is how you do it, otherwise you need to leave anonymous access enabled. Spam appliances sometimes will be the only server
allowed to send to your exchange server, but the spam appliance will have anonymous access allowed on port 25 so it can get the email. Typically the distribution of port 25 traffic is handled at the firewall and it's either sending port 25 traffic to
your email server or a spam appliance.

Is Microsoft Project 2010 available for Mac?

I have a class that is requiriing this software but only provides the windows free trial cd. Is this downloadable for Mac?

There is no Microsoft Project for Mac. You could install Windows on your iMac then install and use Project in Windows.

Failed to send E-Mail Alerts using Cisco NCS

Hi,
I was trying to configure the Email Alert Notication on Cisco NCS but it is not working.
I SMTP server is configured and I add the server IP to NCS (Administration > Setting > Mail Server Configuration). When I click the Test button I always end up with the error message saying "Failed to send mail to primary SMTP server. Please make sure that you save mail configuration by hitting 'Save' button.". I tried saving it but I still end up with the same error. Did anybody encountered this on NCS?
Regards,
Leonard

I have a slightly different issue. We have an existing NCS box with the email account configured and it emails to one person. When I add my name to the list of recipients, it only emails the first person in the list. It seems to ignore the second person.
Oddly enough, when I click on "test", it sends an email to the first person in the list, and that person can see in the email that I was copied on the email. But my email never appears. I even added my Yahoo! email account, and don't get it there either.
Don't see anything in spam folders either. Anyone know if there's a bug with adding more than one email address in NCS?

Mail Merge from Microsoft Word 2010 to "Individual" PDF documents.

Hi Adobe brothers and sisters,
I need help with this one.
I'm Mail Merging over 300 letters and each letter has seven pages. What I'm currently doing is mail merging from Excel to Word then printing it into a single PDF document. Once printed, I select each seven pages and then reprinting in PDF with the name its intended for? This is very time consuming and hoping there is an easier way.
Is there a way to save each individual PDF documents (each letter) and have them labeled by a specific name listed on the letter intended for (eg: surname) without going through this lengthy process.
Regards,

I've developed a tool that will allow you to extract each group of 7 pages
into a single file with just a few clicks. See:
http://try67.blogspot.com/2012/01/acrobat-extract-groups-of-pages.html
However, the file names of the generated files will be generic. If you want
to use some text from the pages themselves in the file names, that might be
possible, but would require a more complex script. Contact me personally to
discuss it further.

Need to send a email alert to Projectmanger when publishing a project in project server 2010 PWA site

Please help me..

Nothing is built in Project Server to do this for you automatically.
They way I have done this in the past is to create a SQL job using SSIS. It runs every hour and when it sees a project schedule that has a recent PUBLISHED date then this is a trigger to send an email to project manager.

Configuration process (after installation) of Microsoft Project Professionnal 2010 fails

On Windows Vista Business 32 (English, SP1), I downloaded en_project_professional_2010_x86_515560.exe from MSDN and installed it. The installation process completed successfully and asked to reboot my computer. After rebooting, I start Microsoft
Project 2010 from the start menu and it starts an initial configuration process which goes into a repeating loop 3 times and fails. Here are the details (when starting Project 2010):
1. Microsoft Project Professionnal 2010 popup: Configuration Progress splash screen with progress bar and yellow wave at bottom.
2. Microsoft Office Project MUI (English) 2010 popup: Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Project MUI (English) 2010, then disappears.
3. Microsoft Project 2010 logo popup with green wave at bottom.
4. Steps 1-3 repeated 3 times.
5. Microsoft Project popup: There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and try again.
I suspect this is a false error message because all my applications are closed and I have over 1GB of free memory.
If I retry:
- Microsoft Project popup: Project failed to start correctly last time. Starting Project in safe mode will help you correct or isolate a startup problem in order to successfully start the program. Sme functionnality may be disabled in this mode.
Do you want to start Project in safe mode?
I click Yes, but the same sequence of popup occurs and it fails with the same error message.
I then installed Microsoft Office Project 2007, as a work-around. But starting Project 2007 gives identical results, except with 2007 popups instead of 2010 popups.
I called Microsoft Technical Support for a case, but they suggested I try posting my question to this forum first.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi all,
To my experience, this kind of problems is typically caused by a conflict with another software component. That is why a reformat and re-install will most likely fix the problem. In most cases this is caused by the virusscanner or firewall.
For those of you who cannot or do not want to reformat and reinstall everything (which I can understand), find below some steps to troubleshoot the issue and find the conflicting piece of software:
Make sure your computer is up-to-date with all service packs and updates for Windows, Office, Project, Internet Explorer, ...
If this doesn't fix your problem:
Go into add/remove programs, select your office version and do a repair
Into add/remove programs, do a repair of Microsoft Project (or uninstall and reinstall)
If this doesn't fix your problem:
Try to run Microsoft Project with different compatibility settings (e.g. Windows XP SP3). Make sure to reset the compatibility setting after performing your tests!
If this doesn't fix your problem:
Perform a full system scan for viruses and other malware
Remove any malware/virus that has been found
If this doesn't fix your problem:
Disable all 3rd party security products (virusscanner, firewall, anti spyware, ...). If you don't feel comfortable leaving your computer unprotected while being online, simply disconnect your pc from the internet (unplug the cable).
If this doesn't fix your problem:
Uninstall all 3rd party security products (virusscanner, firewall, anti spyware, ...). (Yes, this is different from disabling it as some programs have anti-shutdown protection and still have low-level protection even when disabled).
If this still doesn't fix your problem:
Restart your computer in safe mode and try to open Microsoft Project.
If this still doesn't fix your problem:
See if you have a similar computer available with Project installed that doesn't has this issue. Compare the software installed on both computers and remove the software on the computer having the issue one-by-one to try to find the conflicting software.
And if the problem still exists, please report back onto the forum with detailed information about the problem (version of Windows, Office and Project + Service Pack level), exact error messages you receive and steps you have taken to try to troubleshoot
the issue.
Also keep in mind that these forums are not an official Microsoft support channel, so if none of the above fixed the problem, you might want to open a case with Microsoft Support to have them look into the problem.
I hope this helps,
Hans

Project 2010 SP1 Installation Crashes

I'm trying to create a package that will handle both brand new installations for Project 2010 as well as upgrade installations for those running Project 2007, the latter of which represents a large population in our environment.
I basically followed the same process I used when creating packages for Office 2007, Office 2010, Project 2007 and Visio 2007, all of which work today:
run setup.exe /admin
create a new .msp
make my adjustments (very few)
save into Updates directory
customized PrjPro.WW\config.xml (after first creating a backup!)
run setup.exe
I'm testing the package on a machine that previously had Project 2007, but after running for a short time, setup crashes. I thought maybe the problem was with the config.xml so I undid the changes one at a time, then moved up to restoring the orignal
config.xml file but it continues to crash.
There's a setup log in %temp% that contains what may be the core issue

I've checked a few things but I can't figure this out
restored config.xml
used no msp
Office Source Engine (OSE) service startup type is set to 'Manual'
copied ose.exe again from DVD
copied entire DVD over again
I'm beginning to wonder if there's an issue with the existing Project 2007 installation, or the way it was uninstalled [by the Project 2010 setup] - but maybe its something altogether different.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My point above is that Project 2007 was extremely buggy and unless files are saved using Project 2007 SP3 first you are likely to experience problems with the files when opening in project 2010. Project 2007 to 2010 with no service packs is problematic.
With SPs applied you should have far fewer problems.
Doesn't look like a exe with SP2 is available yet so you need to add the service pack separately, probably in the updates folder.
If all Project 2007 installs are already at SP3 then no need for this.
