Running Project Server 2003 2a

What is the best practice for re-importing a project in the server? I am
trying to update the name of a project because the rename tool that Microsoft
supplies does not work. The PM receives an error message when trying to
update the plan because Project Server can not find the old project name.

Thanks in advance.

I save it to a file, note the numeric ID of the WS site, delete it from the
server while retaining the WSS site, import it with the new name and
manually adjust the WSS link to the old numeric ID.

In addition to Ray's excellent advice, you should always make sure that the
team members have no unsubmitted task updates on their View My Tasks page in
PWA and that the PM has no outstanding updates on the Updates page in PWA.
Refer to the following FAQ for the steps needed to preserve the WSS subweb
when you delete the project from the Project Server database:

Hope this helps.
