Changing the Workspace Template in PS2007 - I know how but....

[anovak]

I've been successful with this before using the method of (1)
Removing the URL from the SharePoint site (2) Saving the site as a
template (3) Saving the template on the server (4) Using the
Stsadm.exe command to register/unregister the template.

That's fine and good if you've created a standalone site for this
purpose.

What if I've polished up a project workspace that actually belongs to
an existing project and I want to use this as the baseline or model
for the workspace template? I don't want to screw up the relationship
between the existing project and its workspace.

What are the SPECIFIC steps (please talk detail) I need to take to be
able to use this particular workspace as the new baseline for the
workspace template, but keep the link between it and it's project
intact?

Thanks,

Andy,

Unfortunately if you have taken a project workspace that was linked to
a Project in Project Server and use that as a template you are going
to run into issues. Check out
http://epmsource.com/2009/10/30/the-web-site-specified-is-already-linked-to-another-project/
for details.

Your best course of action is to create a new Project Workspace via
Site Settings / Create and choose the Project Workspace template.
Customise that template and then register it as you mentioned then you
should be good.

Alex.

How about doing an export of the workspace, the import as a different
name?

Hi Andy ,

It still wont work, due to the fact that it is linked to content. The only
way to do it is as mentioned by Alex
