How to install and configure SharePoint Team Services for Microsoft Project Server on Windows 2000

SharePoint Team Services, a superset of Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002, can be integrated with Microsoft Project Server to provide both Web publishing and collaboration features (for example, Microsoft Project Web Access Documents and Issues) to make communicating and sharing project information easier. When you integrate SharePoint Team Services with Microsoft Project Server, SharePoint Team Services is treated as a component of the server, instead of as a stand-alone program. Microsoft Project Server Setup automatically configures SharePoint Team Services, but some manual configuration and administration may also be required.

To configure SharePoint Team Services for Microsoft Project Server, use the following methods in the order that they are presented.

How to Install SharePoint Team Services for Microsoft Project Server

The installation of SharePoint Team Services for Microsoft Project Server is completed by the SharePoint Configuration Wizard (the Stswiz.exe file ) from the Microsoft Project Server CD-ROM. If you try to connect to a Web site based on SharePoint Team Services (that is installed on a computer running Microsoft Office XP) for Microsoft Project Server, you must run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard before you can integrate your existing Web site based on SharePoint Team Services to Microsoft Project Server. The SharePoint Configuration Wizard adds additional components for use and connectivity to Microsoft Project Server, such as the Public Documents folder and Issues templates, and does not remove your existing subwebs.

To install SharePoint Team Services, a SQL Authenticated Administration account is required for the installation portion. After you run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard, you receive a confirmation message. Note and save the information that is contained in the confirmation message. You will use this information at a later time to connect SharePoint Team Services in Microsoft Project Web Access.

After you successfully install SharePoint Team Services and you receive the confirmation message from the Stswiz.exe file, perform the following additional steps to connect Microsoft SharePoint Team Services during the Microsoft Project Server Setup.

Note You can complete these steps during the Microsoft Project Server Setup, or when you connect to Microsoft Project Web Access.

• Grant administrative permissions to the Microsoft SharePoint server for the Microsoft Windows user account for Microsoft SharePoint.
• Grant the Windows user account that has the db_datareader role for the Microsoft SharePoint database in Microsoft SQL Server the appropriate user rights on the computer with Microsoft SQL Server installed.
• Run the PSComplus.exe. file. (This step is only required if you postpone the connection of SharePoint Team Services during Microsoft Project Server Setup.)
• Run the WinHTTP proxy configuration utility (the ProxyCfg.exe file). (This step is only required if you postpone the connection of SharePoint Team Services during Microsoft Project Server Setup.)
