Project Server Enterprise Global Freeze
We are using on-premises Project Server. The Enterprise Global Template has frozen such that once I open it, MS Project freezes and I can't get to the Organizer to remove custom views (Assuming a custom view has polluted the EGT, as the only thing we do in the EGT is create or modify custom views/tables/filters). How can I access the Organizer to "un-pollute" the Enterprise Global Template? Also, I saved our custom views in an mpp file. How can I tell which view is causing the problem with the Global Template, so I can prevent this from happening in the future? Any help would be greatly appreciated!Project Remaining Duration as of Status Date
In a Project schedule, The % Complete entered during an update doesn't seem to push the task Finish Date as it should. The task has a Start date of 6/9/25, Finish date of 9/23/25, duration of 14.95 weeks. The Status date is 9/12/25, Actual start 6/9/25 (on schedule) but progress is 2% Complete, Remaining Duration is 13.45 wks. When I click Update Project and reschedule uncomplete work to start as of Status Date (9/12/25) the Finish Date remains 9/23/25. Shouldn't the Finish Date push to approx. 12/12/2025 based on the % complete and remaining duration? There are a handful of tasks in this schedule with a similar issue, so I would like to find out what causes this, so we can make the task Finish Dates update as you would expect when updating % complete and Remaining Duration on tasks as of the status date. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. There are no date constraints on the task, and "Split In-Progress tasks" is selected in the Schedule Options. We are using a 4 day a week/10 hours a day calendar. We assign Generic Resources to tasks but this particular task is NOT resource loaded. This task is linked with both a predecessor and successor, and both the predecessor and successor are statused 100% complete. Could this be why Project isn't updating the Finish Date for this task, since its successor is complete? We are using Project Server. This project has been published with the status date of 9/12/25.
Project Professional 2024 and Project Server SE OIDC Authentication Issue
Hi all, I have setup a Project Server SE Environment (SharePoint and Project Server Subscription Edition) and configured Custom Open Id Connect Server as Trusted Identity Provider. Everything worked perfectly in the Project Server part from authenticating (redirecting the user to the Open Id connect server for authentication) to everything else except when I open the schedule in Microsoft Project Professional 2024 at first it opens the embedded web browser that it gives me that it can't load jQuery and Bootstrap JS files and CSS and after I enter my credentials it gives me SharePoint Error Page https://youtu.be/tgZ293boon8 unfortunately, I can't upload the logs here if anyone needs it let me know how to send it to him

Hi, We are using Project Server 2019. We came across an issue wherein a task got automatically deleted after the Actual Work was updated. We are not able to figure it out, how as tasks cannot be deleted if actuals are booked on it. How can i find the root cause of this issue. can i check it in the Project Server Queue or in the ULS Logs. Regards, Amit Wairkar
(Microsoft Project 2019 on-premise) DraftProjectResource does not update StandardRate
Hello! Our company uses Microsoft Project 2019 on-premise version. I try to write a C# code that updates project resource standard rate. I use the followin code (it is excerpt, full version can be found at https://github.com/OfficeDev/Project-Samples/blob/main/Create-Update-Project-Samples/Create-Update-Project-Samples/UpdateProject.cs); projContext = GetContext(SiteUrl); csom.PublishedProject theProj = GetProjectById(projectId, projContext); Console.WriteLine("Got project " + theProj.Name); csom.DraftProject draft = theProj.CheckOut(); projContext.Load(draft); projContext.Load(draft.ProjectResources, dp => dp.Where(r => r.Id == resourceId)); projContext.ExecuteQuery(); Console.WriteLine("Project " + draft.Name + " is checked out"); csom.DraftProjectResource resource = draft.ProjectResources.First(); Console.WriteLine("Got resource " + resource.Name + " with standard rate " + resource.StandardRate.ToString() + " per " + resource.StandardRateUnits.ToString()); resource.StandardRate = 100.0d; draft.Update(); Console.WriteLine("New standard rate is " + resource.StandardRate.ToString()); csom.JobState jobState = projContext.WaitForQueue(draft.Publish(true), DEFAULTTIMEOUTSECONDS); JobStateLog(jobState, "Updating project"); It shows expected messages (without errors) but when I look for standard rate in Project or re-run my program - it reads old value for standard rate. It seems like draft.Update() and draft.Publish(true) just do nothing for resource. Can you please give me a hint where to look in order to correct this situation?
Export Custom Fields & Lookup Tables
Is there an easy way to export Project Server custom fields & lookup tables? I have previously seen the "Project Server 2016 Automatic Configuration Documenter" shown below which is an export of groups, permissions, users, custom fields, lookup tables, views, etc. but am not sure how to recreate it.
