Project Server 2010 with IE11 on Windows 7

Question

Hello All,

We are working with server 2010 and SP2 and in the process of upgrading to IE 11 over Windows 7.

I heared that there are some issues with Project Server 2010 and IE 11 and I know that officially it's not supported.

I read also the following threads and other staff, but they mostly talk on Windows 8.1:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d572673e-9f16-42b3-a0bb-c950dc9e0892/project-server-2010-compatibility-with-ie11-and-windows-81?forum=projectserver2010general

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/10a3e756-73e2-43f1-a320-fa4f70cd54ad/internet-explorer-110960017207-crashes-on-2nd-lookup-selection-in-js-grid-page-project-server?forum=projectserver2010general

I would like to know:

1. Are there known issues?

2. What is the policy if such an issue arises?

3. Is a hotfix/CU/SP is planned in which IE11 will be officially supported?

I also saw that the end of mainstream support of Project server 2010 is Oct-2015. What does it say on plans for hotfix/CU/SP's after that date?

Regards,

Barak

Hello,

If using IE 11 you will either need to use the compatibility view for the PWA 2010 site or run IE 11 in IE 9 mode for PWA and it should work fine.

I don't know of any patch to get PS 2010 to support native IE 11, with PS2013 out, I'm not sure Microsoft will - we will have to wait and see.

Generally after mainstream support there will be no product feature patches or change requests accepted etc. Extended support normally includes security fixes. See the link below for details:

I would just make sure that you fully test all of the functionality you use in PWA with IE 11 before rolling it out to a wider audience to make sure it all works as expected.

Hi:

Recently upgrade to IE 11.

We have issue to export resource availability data to excel file from PWA. Seems we have got whole page data ( includes graph and icons) and all mess up in the excel file.
