"Microsoft.Office.Project.EPMSync.Service.SyncThread.SystemRunning, 2008-03-04T11:32:00, Project Server / Portfolio Server is running."

"Microsoft.Office.Project.EPMSync.Service.SyncThread.InitializeData, 2008-03-04T11:32:05, An exception occured initializing the service. Exception: The given key was not present in the dictionary. "

CREATED ISSUE: Confusing Alerts During Resource Cleanup

tonyzink — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:34:23 GMT

During resource cleanup, the alert message 'Added resource Res00001', 'Added resource Res00002' (etc.) is displayed for each resource which is being deleted from the system (i.e. the message is displayed 10x for 10 resources being removed). After the resources are removed, however, the proper alert is displayed ('10 matching resources were removed'). This issue was seen in a virtual machine (Virtual PC 2007: Win2003 + SQL2005 + MOSS2007 + PS2007) with SP1 installed.

CREATED ISSUE: Lightweight Projects Cannot Be Cleaned Up

tonyzink — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:31:02 GMT

Although lightweight projects can be created using the tool, most other operations cannot be performed on those projects, including cleanup. When attempting to remove lightweight projects, the 'No matching projects were found' message is displayed, and they need to be manually deleted from the PWA GUI. This issue was seen in a virtual machine (Virtual PC 2007: Win2003 + SQL2005 + MOSS2007 + PS2007) with SP1 installed.

CREATED ISSUE: New Project Types Not Intuitive

tonyzink — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:28:28 GMT

On the 'Add Projects' tab of the tool, most values in the 'Project Type' drop-down list (except 'Project' and 'Lightweight Project') are not intuitive. This issue was seen in a virtual machine (Virtual PC 2007: Win2003 + SQL2005 + MOSS2007 + PS2007) with SP1 installed.

CREATED ISSUE: Cannot Publish Lightweight Projects

CREATED ISSUE: Cannot Add Tasks to Lightweight Projects

tonyzink — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:25:23 GMT

Although lightweight projects can be created using the tool, most other operations cannot be performed on those projects, including 'Add Tasks'. This issue was seen in a virtual machine (Virtual PC 2007: Win2003 + SQL2005 + MOSS2007 + PS2007) with SP1 installed.

CREATED ISSUE: Add Task Dependencies: Not Intuitive How This Works

tonyzink — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:23:07 GMT

When 'Add Task Dependencies' is performed on projects with existing linked tasks, as well as newly-added tasks without links, this feature doesn't appear to do anything. If this feature is indeed working as designed, then it's not intuitive how the feature is supposed to work. Also, what do 'Max Duration' and 'Min Duration' represent? This issue was seen in a virtual machine (Virtual PC 2007: Win2003 + SQL2005 + MOSS2007 + PS2007) with SP1 installed.

CREATED ISSUE: Add Tasks: Number of Tasks per Project not intuitive

tonyzink — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:19:35 GMT

The 'Add Tasks' feature appears to work properly for existing projects, but it's not apparent that 'Number of Tasks per Project' actually means total tasks after the operation is completed (existing tasks + new tasks). This issue was seen in a virtual machine (Virtual PC 2007: Win2003 + SQL2005 + MOSS2007 + PS2007) with SP1 installed.

tonyzink — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:16:20 GMT

tonyzink — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:06:53 GMT

When new users are added to the system using the tool, they are added as local users on the server machine and also added to the Resource Pool, but they cannot log in to PWA (via 'Sign in as Different User' menu in upper right corner).
