Synchronizing Ressources with AD problems RRS feed

    Hi all,

    brand new week, brand new question: I've set my MSPS to synchronize a specific AD group ("FCT_Projektserver") as Resources. This works... with odds. Initially, I've had only one other AD-group added to the synchronized group that contained all the IT people. That worked pretty well.

    Now I wanted to add the development and production staff, too. Figuring I could simply include their groups in my FCT_Projektserver-group and have them synchronized, I did that. Strangely enough, that did not work. Neither did adding an AD user account directly to the group. The resources don't change.

    What am I doing wrong?


    /edit: Also a manual synchronization doesn't work either.

    Okay, I found the solution. I had added the CE field "Team Name" to the Resources in MSPS as a mandatory field. The field has no counterpart in AD and apparently Project Server did not really like that. I removed the mandatory-attribute and Resource-synchronization works like a charm.

    Hi Mike,

    There could be some issue with MMC snap in (“Active Directory Users and Computers” (dsa.msc) MMC snap-in, find the group to sync and if so, are the users listed under members tab?). Wouls suggest to look into the article by Christophe to troubleshoot the ad issues

    Hi!

    Yes, those two groups are added as subgroups to the synchronized group "FCT_Projektserver". I'm not sure I understand the rest of your advice, though. Could you clarify it a bit for me, please?
