SBS 2003 and PS2003

[Pawel \Pawlisko\ Majran]

Anybody made it working together? I mean connecting client Project 2003 Prof
to Project 2003 Server on SBS2003

SBS has every components required to work, but it does not want to work.
Error message "Cannot connect. Project was unabled to establish a connection
with the selected Project Server. This could be caused by a loss of network
connectivity or problems with the Project Server or database".

All hotfixes and Service Packs installed correctly
MDAC on server 2.8 SP2; on client 2.8 SP1 - newest one avaliable

If I try to use bad password it says so.

PWA - I can enter and administer.

Only problem is this lack of connectivity of server with client.

Tried to use every advice from net and still nothing.

What to do?

Thanks
Pawlisko

Pawlisko:

You are using Premium Edition, yes? If not, you need to at least upgrade to
that. Otherwise, have you seen the following? SBS is not a supported
platform for Project Server, however you can make it work with Chris Jones'
help in the document: http://www.sbslinks.com/pdf/ProjectServer.pdf

Yes, I am using Premium Edition of SBS 2003

Chris Jones' help did not help me, unfortunatelly. Have same error message.

Any other ideas?

Pawel:

The best I can do is go through the standard troubleshooting with Project
connectivity. I'm steadfastly against deployments on SBS, so I have no
experience with them. If your problem is specific to SBS, then we're not
going to get anywhere. To take the conversation further, I at least need to
know the steps you're taking to make the connection. Please reply with the
details.

Gary,

I use EditSite tool - everything is OK - all tests passes.

But OK.

server name is server (how briliant)
server's sql database is server\sharepoint
database created sucesfully during installation process
iis site created successfully
i can connect to PWA and add users and their rights
server and client is in the same network, connected to same switch
client is also domain client of domain served by server

on client i use project 2003 prof, i made server connection -
http://server/projectserver and i have message that connection is good. when
i want to log in i have got that mesg (regardless if it is project account
or windows one with all rights)

if you have any other detail to ask just ask.

Thanks in advance
Pawlisko
