There are two locations in PWA in which you set up Active Directory
synchronization. One location sets up AD sync with the Enterprise Resource
Pool. The other location sets up AD sync with your Project Server security
Groups. I suspect you have done the latter but not the former. Log into
PWA with administrator permissions, then click Server Settings - Active
Directory Resource Pool Synchronization (it's in the Operational Policies
section in the lower right corner of the page). Set up AD sync on the
Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization and the next time
the AD sync routine runs, you should now see your resources in the Resource
Center page in PWA. Hope this helps.

that means I dont to configure AD Synchronization with security groups.

because i will make groups in AD like ProjectManagers , TeamMembers e.t.c

and when the person hire in the company . and we add that person in AD of
particular group like Project manager and teammembers. and then that groups i
want to synchronize with projectserver 2007 security groups like
Projectmanagers and teammembers. is it possible after synchronization of
enterprise resource pool with AD . i will able to synchronize AD groups with
projectserver 2007 security groups.

kindly answer me in detail.

In your situation, you need to configure AD sync with your Enterprise
Resource Pool AND with your PWA security Groups. Set up the AD sync so that
the Enterprise Resource Pool routine runs first and the security Groups
routine runs a little later. Hope this helps.
