Active Directory information for new resources does not import as expected in Microsoft Project (822844)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Project Server 2002
  • Microsoft Project 2002

SYMPTOMS

When you insert new resources from Active Directory directory service, Microsoft Project 2002 may not import the Active Directory information for some of the resources as expected.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Project 2002 uses the IADsNameTranslate interface to translate the Active Directory account to other format types. However, Project 2002 does not correctly set the object type for the resources, and this causes the name translation failure. For more information about the IADsNameTranslate interface, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
