Connect MS Project 2010 to MS Project Server 2010.

Question

Hello everyone,

I am trying to get a tutorial or step by step instructions on how to connect MS Project 2010 to MS Project Server 2010.

I have installed Server 2008 R2 (64 bit), Sharepoint 2010, and Project 2010 on my server and created a new site using the project 2010 template.

I am now trying to connect my stand alone Project 2010 to that site for updates and such.

I tried the File->Info->Manage accounts option and it comes up with "Could not retrieve server initialization data."

I cannot find a step by step tutorial to set it up or to trouble shoot the error message.

Any hints or good resources would be much appreciated.

make sure you use the http:///pwa as your account URL Also, make sure you add your users under Server Settings --> Manage Users in the PWA site, you can't just add them via SITE PERMISSIONS.
