Working with non-enterprise resources

[S Belling]

I would be interested in learning how people are managing
projects that have a mix of enterprise and non-enterprise
resources. Specifically, how are you getting around the
spooler errors generated when you publish or update
projects with non-enterprise resources?

We have projects on which much of the work is performed by
outsources. Their tasks will appear with the project
manager name and the outsource as assigned resources.

The PM is an enterprise resource, the outsource is not. We
don't want to include the outsource in our enterprise
resource pool for various reasons.

When we update the project plan and republish it, we get
spooler errors related to the inability of the server to
create accounts for these external resources.

What are people doing to handle projects that have these
external resource in them>

Thanks,
S Belling

S:

Open the resource information dialog for each of these non-collaborating
resources and set the workgroup value to 'none.'
