Adding Users to Sharepoint Site

J

John

I'm trying to add a user to a Sharepoint site. The user is in our org's
address book, but is not on the same domain as the Project Server. How do I
accomplish this? (It appears like I need to add that person as a local user
to the box - this seems like a lot of overhead.)

Please help!?!

Hi John,

The email address that is referenced in "Step 1: Choose Users" is really
the User Logon Name with the UPN suffix.

For example, if Don Funk's logon name is dfunk and he is a member of the
contoso.msft domain, then email address that SharePoint is referring to
is [email protected]. It would be the same as typing CONTOSO\dfunk

The bottom line is that your user needs to have either an Active
Directory account on the domain with the WSS Server or a local account
on the WSS Server

Sorry :-(

Not a problem. From reading the Project Server installation guide and the
Sharepoint Admin Guide, it looked like those are my two options. I'm not a
fan of adding local user accounts for each person onto my W2k3 box, but if
that is the only way to do it, I will.

Again, much appreciated.
