URL not complete in email notifications sent by server

[SpiroT]

Why is it that when receiving email notifications (in Outlook) from MS
Project Server, that I do not see the complete URL? See example below (i.e.,
URL reference missing "http://msproject/projectserver"):

....
To view and respond to the changes, please connect to your Project Web

To turn off these notifications, please connect to
/notifications/self_notifications.asp and clear the check box for task
notifications.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated,
Spiro.

Nevermind, I fixed it by RE-entering "http://MSPROJECT/PROJECTSERVER" in PWA

ADMIN > Server Configuration (features) > "Server intranet Address". This

seemed to have flushed it out. Weird eh?!

No. It's not weird. It's the way Project Server works. The Server
intranet address sets the URL used with e-mail notifications and alerts. If
you don't fill it in, this causes the problems your people experienced!
Glad you figured it out.

Hello,

apologies for jumping in...

Another place this url (Admin --> Server configuration --> Project server
intranet url) is used is with the link between a sharepoint site and its
corresponding project in project server - specifically with linking issues
to projects\tasks etc. If this url is not right, and you create a new issue
you will get an error that says it cannot create teh link...

just a little tid-bit of info, use it, don't use it...

Yes, I saw this error at a client site and fixed the problem by correcting
the Project Server URL. Thanks for the clarification.
