Active Directory Integration - Group Sync Errors

[WPProject]

Hi,
We installed our project server 2 years ago prior to implementing Active
Directory. We have since implemented Active Directory and want to sync users
and resources from AD groups. We setup AD groups and configured project
server to use them; however, always get sync "Failed".

The sync is probably failing because project server was setup using non-AD
accounts.

Is there a way to get project to sync with AD short of reinstalling Project
Server using AD Accounts?

We are getting the following errors in event log:
*************
Component: AD Connector
File: AutoADProcess
Line: -1
Description: <Description><![CDATA[GetGlobalCatalog: -2147016646-Automation
error

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

has anyone found a answer for this?

I have found 10+ cases of this on various boards/newsgroups, but no one has
an answer.

The only mention on the microsoft site is:

"When you synchronize a group by selecting the Update Now option, a group is
not returned by the FetchGroup function in the Project Server 2003 Active
Directory synchronization component. Additionally, an error message is logged
in the Application log. The error message includes the text "FetchGroup:"
followed by a numeric value. Although the root cause for this issue has not
yet been determined, we believe that this issue is related to Microsoft
Windows SharePoint Services and Internet Information Services (IIS)
configuration or corruption. You can typically workaround this issue by
creating a new Web site and then using the EditSite tool to create a new
"ProjectServer" virtual directory under the new site."

in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887025

It does not mention x4e24 specifically - but it seems the closest.

And we have used EDITSITE but this did not fix the problem.

Neither did re-installing Project Server

We are really stuck with this

If anyone has managed to fix this can the post a hint

Many thanks in anticipation
