Reading Christophe’s post https://blogs.msdn.com/b/chrisfie/archive/2011/04/14/who-is-not-going-to-tech-ed-2011-in-atlanta-next-month-msteched.aspx has reminded me that I have not yet told you all that I too will be at TechEd 11, in Atlanta May 16th to 19th – so I am telling you now.
I’ve just updated the running blog post that give the version numbers to identify the specific release of Project Server 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010 you have loaded – https://blogs.msdn.com/b/brismith/archive/2010/09/23/how-to-tell-which-cumulative-update-hotfix-or-service-pack-version-of-project-server-2010-and-project-2010-you-are-running.aspx This now includes the February 2011 Cumulative Update for Project Server – including the link to the published KB on the roll-up – which can be found at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475879 . One quick reminder – there are other packages which can be loaded for just SharePoint Server or Project Server – which may mean that the versions of the databases could be different to the ones I have listed.
Christophe has posted over on the Project Administration blog at https://blogs.technet.com/b/projectadministration/archive/2011/03/15/microsoft-project-server-2007-2010-internet-explorer-9-support.aspx regarding the support status for Project Server 2007 and Project Server 2010, as well as Project Portfolio Server 2007.
One question that came up recently was around the different behavior when starting from the same template but creating a new plan in Project Professional 2010 or in PWA through the Project Center or via the Project Web Service Method CreateProjectFromTemplate.
Changing Single Entry Mode (SEM) isn’t going to be an every day occurrence for most customers so hopefully not too many people will run in to this one – but it can take a while to work out what has happened to your tasks if you do happen to get caught out by this one.
There is an excellent article on the Web-based capabilities of Project 2010 at https://www.microsoft.com/project/en/us/project-server-2010-editions.aspx which does a schedule management comparison of Project Web App (PWA) 2010 compared to Project Professional 2010.
Interesting question came in today via the blog on my previous customization topic at https://blogs.msdn.com/b/brismith/archive/2010/03/15/customizing-the-project-site-in-project-server-2010.aspx and thought it worth a broader response, as it wasn’t something I had really thought about…
