Where to download a sample database or sample files

[Gedo]

Hi,

To show the power and features of Project Server 2007 I would like to
download (MS) sample database (or some project files). Can someone tell me
where to find the proper location?

Thanks,
Gerard

Hi Gerard,
Microsoft produced a VPC image that was available to partners, and this a
pre configured demo. If you are a partner, you should be able to get hold of
it.
Other than that there is nothing like the sample DB that shipped with
PS2003. Your options are
1. Build a system and populate with your own plans
2. Migrate the PS2003 sample database if you have an existing system to a
2007 instance.
3. Use www.projecthosts.com to take a 7 day live tour of the system.
4. Engage a partner to help.

Thanks Ben, but what about http://www.codeplex.com/EPMDatapop will that do
the job?

I'd forgotten about that - I've never used it so couldn't comment. Let us
know how you get on.

Right, it is a way but it looks quite mechanic and therefore not realistic.
How to get the db\vpc; is it part of MSDN?

The datapop tool generates volumes of meaningless data typically used for
stress testing. It doesn't provide you will a number of different scenarios
like the sample db\vpc does.
