Manage Sharepoint sites failing

[John Carter]

I've recently completed the last step in migrating from Project Server 2002
using Sharepoint Team Services to Project Server 2003 with WSS. The full
complement of 2003 software is installed on one physical server running
Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2000. I am able to view all of the
migrated projects and related Documents and issues, however when I attempt to
invoke any administrative functions involving WSS my PWA session hangs
essentially. When I click on Manage Sharepoint sites a window opens and
Loading Data.... appears in the window and my cursor remains as an hourglass
until I navigate away from the session. I am at a loss as to where to begin
to look for information as to what is possibly wrong. I am suspect it has
something to do with the permissions associated with the WSSConfigDB, but it
is only a hunch. Looking for some advice as to where to begin to look.

Problem resolved. Turns out that the MSADC site must be an excluded from the
Virtual Servers Managed paths. This can be accomplished via accessing the
Sharepoint Central Administration, then select configure virtual server
settings. From the list select the default (or target website)he target
virtual server (in my case the Default Website) then select Define Managed
paths, under the heading Virtual Server Management. Add /MSADC as an excluded
path.

It appears that any PWA page that presents grid bound data will exhibit this
problem, unless the MSADC site is excluded.
