Enterprise Resources changed in Local Resources

Ruxandra

We have noticed lately a problem with the resources in a
number of project plans. Since this is happening in a big
number of plans managed by various project managers I
suspect this is not a typo. There is usually no more than
one resource that somehow lost the name and have been
changed from the Enterprise resource to a local no name
resource. Has anyone else experienced the same issue, and
if so what would be the explanation? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorry, for not communicating back. Some computer problems
made me loose access to Internet for few days.
Gary, the PM's are adding the resources to the team from
the Enterprise pool, by using Add Resources/From the MS
Project in Assign Resources dialog box.

The problem did not happen when adding resources. We
suddenly found that there are a lot of local resources
without name (name is a blank) added to the project team
as you look in the Resource Sheet view, and usually one of
them was having tasks assigned. Looking at that we found
that there was an Enterprise Resource in their plan that
used to be assigned to those tasks. That Enterprise
Resource was missing from the team and the tasks now were
assigned to this local resource with blank name.

I know this does not sound right but it happened in more
than 15 plans on the server, managed by various PM's to
believe is a PM error.

Any, input on this?

Thank you,

Ruxandra

What are they selecting when they hit the button? The only selection they
should be making when they want to insure that they're only selecting
enterprise resources, is the Project Server selection.
