connecting to server from pro

Hello all

I recently changed some settings on IIS and did something stupid - I overrided the permission settings of some files for project server. So now when I use professional to try to connect to the server with windows authentication, it gives me

Project cannot log you on automatically using your Windows user account. You need to change the account in your profile, or contact your Project Server administrator to check if your Windows user account exists and is a valid account on the Project Server. (5003

Using project server account to logon works fine. Could anyone tell me the default settings on the security of those project files on IIS? I appreciate your help

The easiest thing to do would be to use the Edit site tool
(www.microsoft.com/download) to create another site. :) If you want
you can delete the first on from IIS and then use edit site to create
another one with the old name. This will build a 'new' site with all
the right permissions.

Thanks! Do I need to do all the connections to the sharepoint, database, etc again?! Or everything will be fixed just by creating a new site

Remember that the site is just some pages that are pulling data from
the database. All those "connections" are stored in the database and
have nothing really to do with the site itself or the url you use to
get to Project Server.

Just create the new site and you should be fine.

Oh great! That works! Thanks a lot! :D

But then I found that my outlook does not let me import task now. It just keeps on saying invalid passwords. I tried both project server and windows account. What's wrong?!
