Project Server Synchorization Error with Project Server

[aSoundMind]

Hi There,

I am having a problem where user complaints that their new users are
already
in the Active Directory but not listed in Project Server. I found out
the
problem is because the sync with AD is always failed. The error
message was "
The Active Directory group failed to synchronize with the Enterprise
Resource
Pool on 3/7/2007 at 5:22 PM. "

I first assumed that the server is not connected to the domain.
However, the
admin said it's connected.

In the link above, I printscreen the error that occured when I tried
to sync
with AD. Following is the error I found in the event viewer
"Description: <Description><![CDATA[Accessing AD group information
technology failed due to error -2147467259-Fetchgroup: Data provider
or other
service returned an E_FAIL Status.]]></Description>"

Hi Ada,

Following is the details of what I did in response to the KB887025.
Hope this will narrow down the problem.

1. Issues with contacting the global catalog
Frankly I don't understand this part. Please guide

2. Issues with a specific Active Directory group
a) if the group has no member
Last time before the problem exist, I have checked there are around 50
users in the AD group
b) whether incorrect group is being synchronized
The AD Group has a unique name, therefore it is the correct group
c)When you synchronize a group by selecting the Update Now option, a
group is not returned by the FetchGroup function in the Project Server
2003 Active Directory synchronization component. Additionally, an
error message is logged in the Application log. The error message
includes the text "FetchGroup:" followed by a numeric value. Although
the root cause for this issue has not yet been determined, we believe
that this issue is related to Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services
and Internet Information Services (IIS) configuration or corruption.
You can typically workaround this issue by creating a new Web site and
then using the EditSite tool to create a new "ProjectServer" virtual
directory under the new site.

I think the problem is because of 1c. So I would like to know how to
crate a new website then using the editsite tool to create a new
project server virtual directory under the new site?

4. Issues with a specific user
In this case, the whole project server users can't be sync-ed

5.Clearing the AD GUID
Same as 4

6.You receive an "AD Res Pool Sync - failed to open the Ent. Res"
error message when you perform an Active Directory synchronization
against the Enterprise Resource Pool

i didn't get this

These are my updates. I think the problem is because of 1c. So I would
like to know how to crate a new website then using the editsite tool
to create a new project server virtual directory under the new site?
