How to change the Administrator Account for PWA

[David Brock]

I originally used my personal domain account for all settings when installing
trial of Project Server 2007. Now I am changing over to a new service
account. I believe that I have it updated in every place but one. In the
Shared Services Administation on the following page "Shared Services
Administration: SharedServices > Manage Project Web Access Sites > Project
Web Access Site Properties" there is an "Administrator Account" which is
grayed out. I have not been able to figure out how to change this. Can
anyone help?

Thanks,
David

Use the same process as you would for changing the passwords, but change the
user account as well as the password.

• Execute the following commands:

 stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin branch\zprojectserver
-password NEWPASSWORD

 stsadm -o updateaccountpassword -userlogin branch\zprojectserver
-password NEWPASSWORD –noadmin

 IISRESET

• Reboot all farm servers

I had already run the first stsadm command. So I tried the second stsadm
command - it said it completed successfully - I did an IIRESET and rebooted
the machine. But alas, my PWA administrator account stil shows up grayed
out/disabled and set to my account.
