Importing Resources

[John Cello]

Server & Project Pro 2003, XP Pro desktops, SQL Server 2000.

So, if you have an .mpp file with resources and import them using the wizard
into the enterprise pool, they should import and create a PWA account,
correct? So when they don't, what setting am I missing?

If I create the user accounts in PWA, they import fine. If I don't, I get a
"Duplicate windows Account" error.

Suggestions would be welcome.

Are you verifying that the accounts don't already exist because it sounds to
me that the account already exists based on your message? If they already
exist you need to change the option on the resource mapping for "Create new
account" to "Map to enterprise resource" instead.

The network accounts do in fact exist.

I'm attempting to import resources into the enterprise resource pool. If I
understand correctly, and prior experience has shown me, when you import
resources into the enterprise pool, it creates accounts in Project Web
Access. It isn't doing that this time. I have to create he account in PWA,
THEN it will import the resources into th ERP.

Is this 2003? If this is 2003 then using the import resource wizard and
selecting the "Import Resource" option is supposed to create the resource
account and a matching PWA user account. If this is what you are doing and
it is not working then I am not sure how to help. Sorry if this is of no
use to you.

2007 works slightly different.
