Project Server 2003 - Deleting Resources from the Enterprise Resou

[David]

How do you delete resources from the Enterprise Resource Pool? I'm just
setting the system up and have been evaluating how the system works and would
like to delete the resouces that I've established in the pool. I'm the only
one using Project and Project Server right now.

Assuming you are using Project Server 2003, you have two choices:

1. Log into PWA, then click Admin - Clean up Project Server Database. You
will see the option to delete one resource at a time.

2. Download and use the Project Server Cleaner tool, which will allow you
to do a mass deletion of resources. It is available at:

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dale that is what I needed. BUT, I think I just got myself into
trouble. I used option 1 and deleted several resources in the pool. I
accidentially deleted someone I should have. I created a project and tried
to reestablish that resouces in the pool but the system would let me.
Wouldn't add the resource back into the pool. I then when out in Admin and
added the resources through there, but the resources still isn't showing up
in the pool. What can I do to reestablish the resource out in the server
resource pool? Also, what can I do to just entirely clear out the resource
pool and start all over again?

Thanks Dave

I should have stated "I accidentially deleted someone I shouldn't have"

Open the Enterprise Resource Pool and add the resource there. You should
never add resources in the Manage Users section of PWA. Hope this helps.

Dale,

Please give me some step-by-step instructions because what I tried already
didn't work.
