Publishing Projects

When publishing projects to Project Server, i get the
following error message in the application log:

Component: PCSViews
File: ViewsDrop.cls
Line: -1
Error Number: 0x8000401a
Description: Automation error
The server process could not be started because the
configured identity is incorrect. Check the username and
password.

Does anyone have any ideas on how this problem can be
resolved. It has only recently become a problem...

Emily:

The error indicates that either the account you're using to publish with
doesn't have permission to publish, or possibly the STSAdmin account being
used in Com+ on your system has an expired password or the account has
become disabled. The latter is more likely and typically happens because IT
folks like to use their own account to setup the system and forget that
their passwords expire every so many days.

Oh thanks Gary - your help is much appreciated.

How do we check the STSAdmin account setting in COM+ ?

You can find out what the identity is by browsing the dcom components in the
services snap-in on the server. After than you need to check the integrity
of the account and password and confirm it has the correct permissions on
the SQL database.
