Enterprise Standard calendars

[Ken Glynn]

I'm seeing this message: Enterprise standard calendars
are needed. (They) are required to:

Build a team for a non-enterprise project
Save a non-enterprise project into the server
Import resources to the enterprise

How do we set up Enterprise standard calendars?

We've got Project Pro 2002, Project Server 2002 on
Windows 2000, running MSDE. I understand we lose some or
all enterprise functionality.

thanks,

Ken

An enterprise calendar is any calendar which was created in the Enterprise
Global. To create one, do the following:

1. Open Microsoft Project and log into Project Server using an account with
Administrator permissions
2. Click Tools - Enterprise Options - Open Enterprise Global
3. Click Tools - Change Working Time
4. If you intend to only use the Standard calendar for all projects, simply
add your company holidays to the Standard calendar
5. If you need additional calendar, click the New button and create each
individual calendar
6. Click OK when finished creating the calendars
7. Save and close the Enterprise Global
8. Close Microsoft Project
9. Reopen Microsoft Project to get the latest changes to the Enterprise
Global

Now, the other issue is those projects that have non-enterprise calendars in
them, which are triggering the warning message. You will need to open those
projects and remove the non-enterprise calendars. To remove them from a
project, open the project, then click Tools - Organizer - Calendars. The
calendars listed on the right side of the dialog box are those that are
found in the active project. Delete them and close the dialog box. You may
also need to reset the Project Calendar for each project (Project - Project
Information...) and you may need to reset the Non-Working Time Calendar as
well (Format - Timescale, and then select the Non-Working Time page). Hope
this helps.
