AD Sync - mass assignable?

[Brian Lukanic]

I use the AD sync to bring in my members and groups. It works well, however
there's a second step that I apparently have to do manually: edit each user
in PWA and check the box to make each user assignable.

Is there any way I can make all users default to be assignable? I can't
believe that I have to manually do this for 500+ users.

There are two locations in Project Server 2007 in which you can synchronize
your organization's Active Directory with the Project Server system. One of
these populates the Enterprise Resource Pool (and makes each resource
"assignable" as you state) and the other adds users to the proper security
Groups in PWA. You have done the latter but not the former, I suspect.
Assuming you are the Project Server administratator, log into PWA and then
click Server Settings - Active Directory Resource Pool Synchonization (in
the lower right corner of the page). From there, you can set up AD synch to
populate the Enterprise Resource Pool and makes these resources assignable.
Hope this helps.
