The Manager CANNOT create the resource account (0x8C040017)

[Gabriel]

Hello,

When i add a Local resource to a project i could not
publish the project afterwards. I created the local
resources by adding them to the resource sheet, then they
they show up the resource list when i try to assign the
task to resource.

I tried this as a manager and as an administrator, and i
keep getting the error message in MS Project Server
Spooler:
The mananger cannot create the resource account
(0x8C040017)

Click the Resources button. Choose "Specify people and equipment for the
project". Select enter resources manually. Here you should see your
resource name, email addy, win user acct. etc. Are you using windows
authentication. If so, you need to put the domain name in front of the
user like:

[domain.com]\gjones

Click done after that. That should get rid of it. I have some other things
you can try if that does not work.

Open the project in question and click View - Resource Sheet. Double-click
the name of the local resource to open the Resource Information dialog. Set
the Workgroup value to None and then click OK. Reapply the Gantt Chart view
and then save the project. When you publish the project, you will no longer
see the error message. Hope this helps.
