Automated Project Publishing script

[RandyK]

Has anyone ever looked into scripting an automated project publishing routine
in which every project on project server would automatically be updated
(published) at a given time?

We'd like to look into a routine like this for synchronizing Actuals to
Actual Work Protected...

I haven't heard of anyone doing anything like this - but thought I'd throw
it out there...

Refer to the following FAQ for some ideas on how to do this:

http://www.projectserverexperts.com/Shared Documents/ApplyFormulaToAllProjects.htm

The FAQ shows you how to open, recalculate, and save all projects in the
Project Server database. Take the knowledge and extend it to save and
publish all projects as well. Hope this helps.

Since updating actuals can have quite an impact on a project schedule,
I'd be very careful with automating this. As a PM, I wouldn't be happy
to find someone messed with the actuals on my project.
