Resolve Trusted Site Issue

[PMguy]

My issue involves clients connecting to the Project Server through their
Project Professional client. Here is the scenario:

First, my environment is very locked down when it comes to IE settings.
Second, PWA connects in the Local Intranet and works fine. When a client
tries to connect to the Project Server through Project Professional they get
an error stating the Project Server's URL needs to be located in the Trusted
Sites. For some reason, moving the URL to the trusted sites does not work.
So, we moved it back to Local Intranet and it worked for a while. Then the
connection failed again asking for trusted sites. We instituted a registry
mod fix where we added a key to enable the intranet zone sites to the trusted
sites. Everything worked great until now, now our new clients cannot connect
to the Project Server through Project Professional.

Is there another solution that I am missing that could be used as a
work-around to connect to Project Server through Project Professional. All
suggestions would be helpfu.

Thanks,

I forgot to mention the Project Professional and Project Server is the 2003.

The obvious answer is to add your project server base URL to the trusted
sites, which is a requirement. Perhaps you can get your IT department to
push this change to the desktops.

We already tried this and it didn't work. I just resolved the issue with a
registry modification and fixing user permissions.

Thanks
