Question
-
I have started with a company that Has MS project Server 2010 installed but no one is the adminstrator. I have used MS project 2007 in the past and am fairly familiar with it. I want to get training on Server 2010 and become the Administrator for this, but I am having a hard time finding an appropriate training class. Can some one provide me with guidence for this? IE what class/classes should I take? Bootcamps available? ETc... Any help would be appreciated.

You might want to consider taking our "Configuring and Administering Microsoft Project Server 2010" course. We offer this every month. You have the option to take the class in-person in our training center in New York City, or in cyberspace using the Internet. As a part of this class, we provide each student with a freshly-installed Project Server 2010 instance to configure, so this is a very "hands on" class. You can register for an upcoming class at:
http://projectservertraining.com/learning/schedule.aspx
When you examine the schedule of courses, you will see there are three options for you to consider. You can take the basic 4-day class, or you can take a 5-day class that includes extra content for analysts or for technical administrators. Hope this helps.

Hi Gordon,
As Christophe mentioned about the class, Alternatively, You can also download the Microsoft project server 2010 Administrator's guide which has eight chapters and four appendixes. You can review these chapters in any order that you want; they are organized in the same manner in this book as they are organized in PWA. All sections are in detailed & very helpful to new Project Server administrators.
