Can't login to Project Server from Project Professional 2003

[Alastair Bell]

I am running Project Prof on Windows Server 2003 and Project Server is running on a seperate Windows 2003 Server. Note the server with Project Prof is running Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.

When I run Project Prof and attempt to connect to the server I get the following error message.

"You cannot log in to the Project Server http://projectserver/projectsite because you have not identified http://projectserver/projectsite as a trusted site in Internet Explorer.
To continue, you should make the site http://projectserver/projectsite a trusted site in Internet Explorer."

However I have made this site a local Intranet site so that I can connect using integrated security and moving the site to the trusted zone within Internet Explorer would remove it from the local Intranet Site preventing access using Integrated Security. How can I overcome this problem.

Alastair:

Moving the site to the trusted sites zone does not make it inaccessible to
integrated security.

Alastair:

Disable the Enhanced Security Configuration.

For some reason when I have the site as a trusted zone as opposed to a

local intranet zone I can't logon. When I attempt to connect to the server I
get the message.

"Unexpected server response.
Project Server has returned an unexpected server response.
Click the View button to view the server response as an error in your browser."

When I click View I see the following web page

"You are not authorized to view this page
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the

credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a
WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to
accept.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

Please try the following:

Contact the Web site administrator if you believe you should be able to view this directory or page.
Click the Refresh button to try again with different credentials.
HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to server configuration.
Internet Information Services (IIS)"

The only way I seem to be able to get round this is to add the site as a

local intranet zone, but then I run into the problem outlined in my first
post.
