[Chrispy]( “chris.piscopo@defence.gov.au”) - Aug 1, 2014 Hi, what if the cached version appears to be a later copy than the server copy, in which case, how do you override the server copy with the cached copy? [cakriwut]( “cakriwut@gmail.com”) - Sep 0, 2014 If the cached copy appears to be the later copy, you can publish the cached copy. It will override the server copy. Basically following happens: 1. When you open the project for editing in MS Project client Server has Published and Working copy Client has Working copy and Cached copy 2.

English: Before you can edit the Microsoft Project 2010 file stored in Enterprise Project Server 2010, you must perform check-out process. This process ensures that you have exclusive access to the file during modification. The exclusive access ends when you save and check-in the file into server. Local Cache To improve user’s experience and presumably due to technical limitation, Microsoft Project 2010 client creates local cache and synchronize the content back to the server periodically.

I also found this great article on how to do it automartically: http://blog.viitaila.fi/2013/01/28/changing-the-product-key-of-windows-from-mak-to-kms-with-a-powershell-script/ [cakriwut]( “cakriwut@gmail.com”) - Feb 4, 2013 Thanks for the info.

English: As MSDN Ultimate subscriber, we may have access to volume license installer. In order to activate volume license, one can use MAK (Multiple Activation Key) or KMS (Key Management Service). You can imagine MAK as out-premise activation Microsoft’s and KMS as in-premise activation; both requires Administrator authorization. When VL activation is unsuccessful you can identify the reason by looking at the Activation Error Codes and find the description in Microsoft website.

English There are 2 types of working session in Enterprise Project Server 2010, normal session and delegated session. In a normal session, one will work under his own privileges and perform his tasks. In a delegated session, one will work on behalf of other users and perform other user’s tasks. During delegated session, a notification bar will appear in the notification area on every pages – indicates who he is acting as.

English: After a long waited excitement, new Office 2013 and SharePoint 2013 are finally here (see: Microsoft unveils the new Office).

English: A new cumulative update has been released, on 26 June 2012. It contains the latest hotfixes for the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation, Microsoft Office 2010 servers and Microsoft Project Server 2010. Make sure that you test the new hotfixes in qualification environment, and to remind you that in previous April 2012 CU there was small regression in the initial build. The team then fix the bit in the second release of April 2012 CU.

English On previous post, I already explained how to create and delete access delegation in Enterprise Project Server 2010. As a delegate user, access delegation will not start immediately. This is to avoid conflict between your own session tasks and on-behalf tasks. Access delegation will start when you decide to start and stop when you decide to end it. The session will be persisted in the server therefore once you start access delegation, you will be in delegated session even tough you have logged-off and re-login to the server.

English Access delegation is a process to authorize a user to performs action on behalf of delegated user. For example, John is a project manager for a running project. One day, he needs to travel for a week and delegate his role to his friend Doe. John will then delegate his account to Doe, allowing Doe to perform action on behalf of John. In the previous post about adding delegate we know that every delegate setting has predefined duration.
