Distribution of Custom settings (Tools>Options & Ent Opt>MSPS Acct

[AI]

Hi All:

In Project Server 2003, what is the fastest way to distribute custom
settings in Tools -> Options and other settings to all the end users who will
be using Project Pro 2003 with SP1. Do I take Global.mpt with these settings
and place it under C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application
Data\Microsoft\MS Project\11\1033 or under C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office11\1033 of each user. That way the users do not have to
individually click on Tools -> Options and check the settings or create
create Windows based accounts in Tools -> Enterprise Options -> MS Project
Server accounts with the correct URL.

Has anybody tried this method of distribution for Global.mpt and does it work.

Is teher an alternate. From what I have seen, these are local settings and
applying it to Enterprise Global will not carry over the settings to all the
machines.

Please advise.

Thanks,
AI

One way to do this is to create a custom installation package (msi) using
the custom Installation Wizard.
