Integrate with Active Directory to populate Enterprise Resource Pool in Project Server 2003

[Joshua Campbell]

I am sure that this question has been asked many, many times, but a quick
search on Google didn't return anything useful. I currently run Project
Server 2002, and it was practically impossible to integrate with Active
Directory so that the Enterprise Resource Pool could be automatically
populated. The lease on the server that houses my Project Server is about
to run out, so I am looking into upgrading to Project Server 2003 on the new
server. With Project Server 2003, is there a way to integrate with Active
Directory so that the Enterprise Resource Pool could be automatically
populated? If so, how?

Thank you.

Joshua --

Active Directory synchronization is supported in Project Server 2003. The
synchronization happens automatically on a schedule specified by the Project
Server administrator. Hope this helps.

So, is this functionality practically "out of the box"?

Joshua --

Yes. For the Active Directory synchronization to work the best, you should
create Active Directory groups that match the default Project Server groups.
Hope this helps.
