    Hi,

    I'm trying to synchronize Project Server 2013 with Active Directory users via the Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool synchronization tool, under PWA Settings->Operational Policies.

    When I enter a distribution or a security group in the "Active Directory Group" field, the group is found and can be selected in the auto-completion without any problem. But when I try the click "Save and Synchronize Now" or "Save" button, nothing happens. The page is not refreshed or redirected.

    Here are the last relevant messages I see:

    w3wp.exe (0x2BE8) 0x1568 Project Server General aeby7 Exception

    I am in a single domain topology between Project Server and AD, and I'm doing the synchronization with the farm admin account, who has read/write access to AD. I have a two-tiers architecture (separate databse server) with SharePoint 2013 and Project Server 2013 RTM + public update of March 2013 installed.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    Try playing around with alternate access mappings, that' another thing I did the morning I solved my issue. Try adding an AAM for your server's hostname. Good luck.

    Hi,

    Indeed I had to play with Alternate Access Mapping.

    The steps proposed by Kiran.K in another topic resolved the issue for me.

    I moved the FQDN url http//portal.servername.com (that I was using the access pwa) to the default zone in Alternate Access Mapping and it worked immediatly!

    Please also verify that "Authenticated users" have read permission on all service account:

    From the AD Users and Computers > edit the AD service account > Security tab > Select "Authenticated Users" > ensure "Read" permissions are enabled

    Thank you for your support,

    ALemaitre

    Hi Alemaitre,

    No solution I'm afraid, but just wanted to let you know that I'm experiencing the exact same issue. I'll post here if I ever find a solution.

    Good luck!

    Hi,

    Try opening the site in Internet Explorer "compatibility view" and check the behavior.

    The compatibility view doesn't change the behaviour, for the moment we didn't find any resolution.

    I can confirm, IE Compatibility Mode doesn't fix this. It's definitely not caused client-side, as I'm getting the correct POST actions in the ULS logs.

    Just a try : has your PWA instance URL been added to your IE trusted sites (both internet and intranet)?

    Lo and behold, my AD sync started working.

    Though I have added the site to my local intranet sites, I'm not very confident whether this was the actual solution. I've performed several actions configuring my farm before I started troubleshooting this issue again, so it might be another action that solved this.

    Alemaitre: can you try the following please:

    • See if the SharePoint Web Service site is started in IIS.  If not, start it, see if that works.
    • Instead of adding the site to your Trusted Sites, try Local Intranet Sites (click Advanced to add sites besides using auto-discovery)
    • Turn the Security Level for the zone all the way down.
    • Turn off Compression for your site in IIS, do an iisreset, see if that works.
    • I've also had to remove a host header from my MySite portal (running on port 8080 here), unlikely for this to be the cause but it's just one of the things I did this morning :-)

    Should I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

    Bonne chance.

    Unfortunatly, the steps above didn't do the trick for me.

    DMachiels, if you remember anything else you did, please let me know ;-)

    Thank you

    Did you try adding the site to your local and internet trusted sites in IE?

    Several things can cause to fail

    1)  Look in the events log and see if AD sync is failing because a user record.

    2) The service account that runs the AD sync needs to have access to the Active Directory.
