Hi Folks,

Just wondering what the recommendation is for 'disabling' or locking out
users during certain maintenance windows. What is the best way to prevent
all users from accessing it? I am using ProjectServer2003.

Thanks,

Richard Santink

Not sure if there is a recommended way :) but that is what I do:
- stop the services,
- stop the PWA Web Page in IIS
that should do the job.
Hope this helps

And here's what I do...

Create a group, add everyone but the adminstrator, and set Log On to Deny.
When you've performed your updates, etc, set the permission to "soft deny"
(neither allowed nor denied).

This is a very clever and simple solution! Thanks for sharing.

I'll give it a try! What I like is not having to remote into the server to
stop/start services :)......

Thank you both for your responses..
