Need definition / expaination of error

[Earl Forrence]

After going through the standard method of inactivating
resources, I have tried to use "Merge User Accounts" to
eliminate the inactive entries. That has worked for over
100 of the resources; but for 3 I receive the message:

Microsoft Project Server can not merge an
enterprise resource account into another
account.

Now, all of the 100 plus resources being inactivated and
merged were originally imported from Proj Pro 2002
resource pools. Further, when looking at the resource's
information under Modify User, I find no significant
difference in their Descriptions / Groups / Categories /
Permissions ... certainly nothing that would indicate a
reason for the above error.

So, my question is: What keys this error; and what does
it explicitly mean?

Thanks ... Earl

Earl:

The message is referring to resources that are included in your enterprise
resource pool. To determine which resources are part of the pool, in Project
Professional:

Tools > Enterprise Options > Open Enterprise Resource Pool
All the resources that display in the open dialog are in the Enterprise
Resource Pool
All user accounts that don't display here are simply users and can be
merged.

If you need to delete enterprise resources, Microsoft provides a SQL stored
procedure in the Resource Kit available on TechNet.
