  What specific customizations are you making in the template? DOes your customization involve the 'deletion' of any of the default lists (Issues, Risks, Project Document Libraries, Deliverables?

  If yes, you might want to try and isolate that as your issue, by creating a template without doing that specific customization..

  When you create a custom template, make sure it is not associate with a project site.  For example, in the past, I create a project, published and used the new publish site as a template.  This will not work because the site is now assocated with the template.  There are powershell commands to remove the associations or create a site from scratch.

  cheers

  Hi,

  Can I confirm that the template site you are creating is based on the Microsoft Project Site Template? Project Server will only support workspaces created from a Project Site template. Also to reiterate what Prasanna asked, if you used a Project Template, did you delete the risks, issues or deliverables libraries, these are required for the workspace to synchronise with PS.

  Hi. If you are using any custom web parts in the project site you based your template then it might be assicated to that. Try going back to basics. Remove any custom web parts, then try, try again until you can isolate the issue.

  The other thing is to check if the site collection you are making the project site template is the same as the one you are publishing to. If different then perhaps you don't have a site collection/site feature activated which the template requires. If this is the case you can usually go to the site collection root and look at all the sites available and see your site half created in the site collection. If you use the sharepoint method (Site Actions>Create Site) to create the site using your template, you can usually get a more descriptive error which indicates the missing site feature id.

  Then use Powershell to retrieve the descriptive name of the missing feature from your source template site. For Exmaple

  Get-SPFeature 10eb8dad-31aa-4461-9843-27305d0c7c93
  
  

  rerturns:

  DisplayName          Id                    Scope
  
  -----------          --                    -----
  
  PWAWebParts          10eb8dad-31aa-4461-9843-27305d0c7c93   Site
  
  
  

  Failing this then check the SharePoint logs for some additional information.,

  Regards,

  Thank all of you so very much for responding.

  To answer everyone's questions - I was using create site with the Microsoft Project Site to create the template.

  I was creating a new site that was not associated to any project.

  I was not using any custom web parts.

  It turned out to be a combination of things.  I did not know that risk, issues, and deliverable were required on the custom site.  However, I wasn't deleting the Issues, Risk, or Deliverable but I was renaming them to Project Risk, Project Issues, and Project Deliverables which apparently was enough that it would not Sync.

  Bottom line - If you want to use a custom template, you must create a brand new site from the All Site Content Page (using the Microsoft project site from the list).  You can create custom list to add to the page, but do not edit or delete the default list such as risk, issues, or deliverables because they are required to Sync with Project Server.

  Thanks again everyone - Lifesavers!

  Good afternoon!  Where might I go to find these STSADM or PowerShell commands that can remove these associations?  Thanx in advance, SKH
