Info:


1. Sharepoint was working fine since I installed it a year ago. It
has
worked properly without problems with Project Server


2. I performed some upgrades on the SQL server which were
"Recommended" by
the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer. I cannot recall explicitly
what I
did (a month or so back)


3. I upgraded all Windows Server 2003 machines to Service Pack 1.


4. I made no changes to the Project Server configuration


Problems:


1. The home page now says there are problems with Sharepoint. UNder
risks
and Issues it says: "There is a problem establishing a connection with
the
Web server running Windows SharePoint Services. Contact your system
administrator."


2. The risks and issues pages in Project Server display each project.
When I
click on a project to get its risks/issues then the following message
is
displayed:


The documents, risks and issues features in Project Web Access use
Windows
SharePoint Services.


There is a problem establishing a connection with the Web server
running
Windows SharePoint Services. Contact your system administrator.


3. Sharepoint itself appears to be working fine. If I go to the home
site,
it works. If I go the admin site, it works fine. If I go to a
specific
project site within sharepoint, it works fine. If I call up the issues
and
risks within the project site, it works fine. Basically, all elements
of
sharepoint are working correctly


4. So, my conclusion is that it is the integration betweem Sharepoint
and
Project Server that is the problem. It would be nice to know which
user is
being called inside the .asp page to request information as I think
this has
to be the problem.


There are no messages in any Event Logs, and to frank, I am stumped. I
know
it must be something that I changed, but I do not seem to be able to
pin-point it.


Thanks in advance

Hulicat,

Sometimes after a service pack or an upgrade you need to reestablish COM+
links. There is a utility in the Project Server /bin directory for this.

For instructions on resetting the COM+ go here:

Best of luck,
Hope it helps.

Thanks for posting this Scott... did the trick for me. In my case, I'm not
sure if any patches/updates were applied (none to my knowledge), but my
Active Directory password *was* changed. Would this make sense?
