How do I level project resources using Enterprise Resource Pool?

[Scott]

We recently migrated to Project Server 2003 using the enterprise resource
pool functionality. Prior to this we were running projects using a
centralized shared resource pool and managing our projects without incident.
Since migrating these projects to Project Server we have not been able to
level resources once we have completed rescheduling unfinished work, a
project management task that was functioning perfectly with these same
projects prior to moving them to the server.

Is there some type of configuration with the enterprise resource pool that
needs to be completed for this to work? Is there any explanation for why
this worked prior to migration but does not post migration?

This is the resolution that I received from Microsoft:
