Project Renamer Tool is not working

[Chaitanya]

Hi There,

The Renamer Tool which is used to rename the project names is not
working for our recently migrated new project server environment. The
Renamer Tool stills works fine for our old project server. After
logging in to the new server via the Renamer tool and trying to rename
a project we are having the following error message;
"The server did not recognize your request"
We have logged in as an Administrator user who has all the rights on
Projects.


Any clue on where to start looking?

If the new server environment is 2007, then it won't work. To rename a
project in 2007 use either properties in the Project Center in PWA or in
Project pro and file open, right click the file name and I think rename is
an option in the context menu.

We are using project server 2003.

If the new server environment is 2007, then it won't work. To rename a

Hi,

When I had problems with the Rename Project Tool, the problem was that the
directions in Microsoft's online documentation are incorrect.


http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/projservadmin/HA011642731033.aspx


The directions say the registry value should be "PDSRights.CPDSRights".
Actually, the registry value should be "ProjectRenamer.CMain".


HTH,
