I am trying to build a new project server install for someone with a
messed up configuration and I want to transfer their projects and all
other data but not any administrative configurations.

Suggestions?

If there is any other information that would be helpfull just post and
ask.


Thanks in advance

Save each of the projects as .mpp files. Back up the Enterprise Global
file. Back up the Enterprise Resource Pool using the following procedure:

1. Create a new blank project
2. Add every member in the pool to the project team using the Build Team
from Enterprise Tool
3. Create one local field and outline code for every enterprise custom
field and outline code
4. Copy the data from each enterprise field and outline code to its
corresponding local field and outline code
5. Save the backed up pool as an .mpp file

Please be aware that you MUST perform steps 3 and 4 so that you can import
the local resource pool file into the new Project Server instance (using the
Import Resources to Enterprise wizard) and still retain the custom
enterprise Resource field and outline code values for each resource. Hope
this helps.
