Introduction
This article describes installing Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2. This requires a
general understanding of Office SharePoint Server 2007 farm topologies in addition to the
Office Project Server 2007 architecture. This article also prescribes system requirements
for your computers prior to installation, and also discusses client configuration
information needed to connect to your installation from Microsoft Office Project
Professional 2007 and Microsoft Office Project Web Access.
Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2 Notables
Please note the following in Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2:
• There is no upgrade path from Office Project Server 2007 Beta 1 or Beta 1TR to
Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2. If you are upgrading from Office Project Server
2007 Beta 1TR, you will need to uninstall it and delete the Project Server databases
before installing Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2.
Note From Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2 moving forward, databases should be
upgradeable to the next version.
• If you are installing from Office Project Server 2007 Beta 1, note that the Beta 1
versions of Windows SharePoint Services and Office Project Server 2007 cannot be
fully uninstalled and, therefore, remnants of those programs are left over even after
uninstall is complete. These remnants can interfere with the setup of Beta 2.
Therefore, it's strongly encouraged that you start on a clean system.
• The Standalone installation mode of Office Project Server 2007 is not available for
this Beta 2 release.
• The Windows SharePoint Services and the Office Project Server 2007 Beta 1 and Beta
1 TR databases are incompatible with Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2 and cannot
be used. If you have project data that you'd like to preserve, you'll need to first save
your projects to the Project 2000 – 2003 MPP file format so that you can import them
into your Project Server 2007 Beta 2 server at a later time.
• SQL Server Analysis Services 2000 will work with Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2.
However, it will not currently work with SQL Server Analysis Services 2005.
Two tier: The Web front-end server and application server reside together on the
same computer, and the database server resides on another computer. If possible,
the two-tier configuration is preferable, because database processing will be
offloaded from the server hosting the Web front-end and application tier.
Medium farm
Office Project Server 2007 in a Windows SharePoint Services version 3 medium
farm topology is characterized by a three-tiered configuration. The Web tier,
application tier, and database tier are all on separate computers. Separating each
of the tiers across different computers will increase performance by distributing
the load placed on the system.
This topology can be scaled out to accommodate more users by adding additional
servers on the Web and application tier, and to configure them for load balancing.
The database tier can also be clustered with additional database servers.
Large farm
Office Project Server 2007 in a Windows SharePoint Services version 3 large farm
topology is very similar to a medium farm topology. Both can be configured to
serve a large enterprise company and are easy to scale up. The main difference
between them is that a large farm configuration also employs the use of other
services that are available through Office SharePoint Server 2007 such as Search,
Index, or Excel Calculation Services, and each application service runs on its own
server.
Standalone mode is has a very limited scope and is best used within a very small
company. It is important to note the following limitations of the Standalone version of
Office Project Server 2007:
• SQL Server Express 2005 is installed as the database server. Unlike the full version of
Office Project Server 2007 the database engine is installed automatically during the
installation.
Standalone mode deployments can be scaled to a larger Project Server deployment. This
would require the database to be migrated as well as other steps.
• Office Project Server 2007 database tier (Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with SP3 or later
or Microsoft SQL Server 2005)
The Office Project Server 2007 Web tier includes two components:
Microsoft Office Project Web Access Office Project Web Access is designed for
use by all project team members, administrators, and anyone else who needs
access to Project Server data. Office Project Web Access is essentially a set of
Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 applications that use the Project Server Interface (PSI).
Windows SharePoint Services version 3 Windows SharePoint Services
version 3 is a Web-based team collaboration and document management
application. Office Project Web Access is built on Windows SharePoint Services
version 3 for ease of use, improved administration, and ease of customization and
integration with other applications.
The Office Project Server 2007 application tier includes:
Project Server Interface (PSI) The Project Server Interface is the application
programming interface (API) of Office Project Server 2007. The Project Server
Interface object model exposes Project Server functionality to all external
applications. Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007, Office Project Web Access,
line of business, and other third-party applications use the PSI to access Project
Server data in the Draft, Published, and Archive databases.
Project Server Platform This includes the Project Server business objects
accessed by users through the PSI.
Project Server Services This includes the Server Reporting Service and the
Server Queueing Service.
The Office Project Server 2007 database tier includes the following Project Server
databases:
Draft The Draft database contains tables for saving unpublished projects from
Office Project Professional 2007. Project data in the Draft database is not
accessible by using Office Project Web Access.
Published The Published database contains all of the published projects.
Published projects are visible in Office Project Web Access. The Published database
also contains tables that are specific to Office Project Web Access (timesheets,
views, and so on) and global data tables (outline codes, security, and metadata).
Archive The Archive database saves backed-up and older versions of projects.
Reporting The Reporting database is the staging area for generating reports
and OLAP cubes. Data in the Reporting database is comprehensive, optimized for
read-only report generation, and is updated near real-time.
System requirements
Before installing Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2, verify that the computers meet the
hardware and software requirements listed in the following tables.

Click Install Now. The Office Project Server 2007 application tier and Web tier
components are installed onto the computer.
6. When installation of the binary files is completed, the Setup Complete page is
displayed and prompts you to complete the configuration of your server. If you
want to continue, verify that Run the SharePoint Products and Technologies
Configuration Wizard now is selected, and then click Close.
1. The Welcome to SharePoint Products and Technologies page lists information that
is required from you during configuration, including:
• Name of the database server and database where the server farm
configuration data will be stored. Only the database server name is required
if you plan to use an existing database for a Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2
farm.
• User name and password for the database access account that will
administer the server farm.
3. On the Connect to a Server Farm page, select No, I want to create a new
server farm. Click Next.
4. On the Specify Configuration Database Settings page, use the information you
gathered earlier to specify the name of the computer running SQL Server and the
name of the configuration database, and to specify a Windows account that the
computer will use to connect to the configuration database.
α.In the Database server box, type the name of the computer running SQL
Server on which the database will be created.
β.In the Database name box, type the name that you want to give the
configuration database. The default entry is SharePoint_Config.
χ.In the Specify Database Access Account section, in the Username box,
type the name of the Windows account you want to use to access the
configuration database. This account must have access to the computer
running SQL Server to create the configuration database and must be a
member of the Power Users group on that computer.
Note This is a unique domain user account that you can specify as the
Windows SharePoint Services version 3 service account. This user account
is used to access your SharePoint configuration database. It also acts as
the application pool identity for the SharePoint Central Administration
application pool and it is the account under which the Windows SharePoint
Services Timer service runs. The SharePoint Products and Technologies
Configuration Wizard adds this account to the SQL Server Logins, the SQL
Server Database Creator server role, and the SQL Server Security
Administrators server role. It is recommended that you follow the principle
of least privilege and do not make this user account a member of any
particular security group on your front-end servers or your back-end
servers.
δ.In the Password box, type the password for this account.
ε.Click Next.
2. On the Operations page, in the Topology and Services section, select Services
on server.
3. On the Services on Server page for this computer, from the Service list find
Project Application Service. In the same row under the Action column, click
Start.
4. From the Service list find Windows SharePoint Services Web Application. In
the same row under the Action column, click Start.
Note If you want to have search capabilities, you will also need to enable the
Windows SharePoint Services Help Search service. Enabling this service takes you
to the SharePoint Services Search Settings page where you have to choose
accounts for the search service and for content access, specify the search
database server and name (defaults are suggested for you), and also configure
the indexing schedule. It should also be noted that if you enable search it can be a
system intensive process.
5. To see whether the status has changed to Started, you might need to refresh the
page.
The Server drop-down menu allows you to switch to a different server if the given service
you're trying to configure resides elsewhere.
Note For this Beta 2 release of Office Project Server 2007, starting the Windows
SharePoint Services Web Application service may generate the following error:
Thread was being aborted. If so, or if you are using the command line to start the
service, execute the following command at the command prompt:
<sys drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN>stsadm -o
provisionservice -action start -servicetype
"Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService,
Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
Create an unextended Web site to host the Shared Services Provider
The following procedures creates the Shares Service Provider Web application.
3. On the Create or Extend Web Application page, in the Select Create New or
Extend Existing section, click Create a new Web Application.
a. In the IIS Web Site section, select Create a new IIS web site and do
not change the default information. However, make sure to note the port
number associated with the new site. This will enable you to choose the
correct site later when you are setting up the Shared Service Provider.
Note If you choose to edit the port number, please choose any non-used
port other then 80.
d. Select Configurable, and then, in the User name and Password boxes,
type the user name and password of the user account that you want to act
as the application pool identity for your Web application.
Note The user account must be a domain user account, but the user
account does not have to be a member of any particular security group. It
is recommended that you use the principle of least privilege and select a
unique user account that does not have administrative rights on your
front-end servers or on your back-end database servers. You can use the
user account that you specified as the Windows SharePoint Services
version 3 service account; however, if that user account is a member of a
security group that has administrative rights on your front-end servers or
your back-end database servers, you will not be following the principle of
least privilege. The user name must be in the format DOMAIN\username.
5. Do not change any of the other default entries on this page, and then click OK.
After the unextended Web site is completed, in the Application Created page
select Return to the Central Administration home page.
3. On the Create or Extend Web Application page, in the Adding a SharePoint Web
Application section, select Create a new Web Application.
a. In the IIS Web Site section, select Use an existing IIS web site, and
then select the existing Web site that you want to use from the list.
Note You might need to create another Web site so that host headers
are not needed and you do not have to remember to type the port number
as a part of the URL. If you do this, make sure the site is assigned to port
80. For example, you might want to use a site other than the Default Web
Site. To make things easiest, however, use port 80.
e. Select Configurable, and then, in the User name box, type the Windows
account of the farm administrator. In the Password box, type the
password for the account.
Note This user account must be a domain user account, but the user
account does not have to be a member of any particular security group. It
is recommended that you use the principle of least privilege and select a
unique user account that does not have administrative rights on your
front-end servers or on your back-end database servers. You can use the
user account that you specified as the Windows SharePoint Services
version 3 service account; however, if that user account is a member of a
security group that has administrative rights on your front-end servers or
your back-end database servers, you will not be following the principle of
least privilege. The user name must be in the format DOMAIN\username.
f. Do not change any of the other default entries on this page, and then click
OK.
5. On the Application Created page that appears, select Create a new Windows
SharePoint Services site collection.
a. Enter a title in the Title field. The title will be displayed on each page of the
site, so you might want to title it similarly to Microsoft Project Web Access.
b. In the Web Site Address section, click Create Site at this URL, and
then select (root) from the list.
7. On the Top-Level Site Successfully Created page, the URL for the new, empty top-
level site is displayed. Click OK to return to the Central Administration page.
3. On the Manage this Farm's Shared Services page, click New SSP.
a. In the SSP Name section, in the Web Application list, select the Web
application that you created when you created the unextended Web site to
host the Shared Services Provider (for example, SharePoint (3915)).
Note Do not select the Default Web Site, Central Administration site, or
any site associated with port 80 from the drop-down list.
b. In the SSP Service Credentials section, type the name and password for
a Windows user who is the SSP administrator into the corresponding boxes.
c. In the SSP Search and Database section, the database server name will
automatically be the same as for the SharePoint Config database. The
database names will also be automatically generated for you. You do not
need to change these settings, but you can if you want.
5. Click OK.
Note This process might take several minutes to complete.
6. After the SSP is successfully created, the Success! page is displayed. Click OK to
go to the Manage this Farm's Shared Services page needed for the next section.
1. On the Manage this Farm's Shared Services page, in the SSP Name list, click the
shared service you just created listed under SSP Name.
2. On the home page for this core service, in the Project Server section, click
Project Web Access Sites.
3. On the Manage Project Web Access page, click Create PWA Site.
a. In the Project Web Access Site Location section, from the SharePoint

site. Do not select the unextended Web site being used for the Shared
Service Provider.
b. In the PWA path box, the default name of the Project Web Access path
appears (Project Server). You can type a different name if you want.
In the Primary Database Server field, type the name of the computer running
SQL Server on which the Published, Draft, and Archive databases will be located.
In the four Database Name fields, enter unique names for each of the four Office
Project Server 2007 databases.
Note You can use the default database names. However, make sure they do not
already exist on the SQL Server.
In the Reporting Store field, type the name of the computer running SQL Server
on which the Reporting database will be located. By default, it will list the same
computer as the primary database server.
6. You will return to the Manage Project Web Access page. Click the Refresh Status
button to update the status of the provisioning process. When provisioning is
complete, an entry in the Status column will display Provisioned. When
completed, you can click the URL to go to the Project Web Access site.
1. When installing the bits, for Server Type you would select Web Front End instead
of Complete.
3. When you create the unextended Web site to host the SSP, verify that the Load
Balanced URL setting is not pointing to the Application Server.
Configuring Alternate Access Mapping on the New Web Front End Server
When deploying additional Web Front End Servers, Alternate Access Mapping (AAM) must
be configured in order for the Web Front End server to be recognized as the Web Server
for the farm. If this is not done, the farm will direct all Web service requests to the
Application Server.
Alternate Access Mapping is configured in the Central Administration site for the farm. To
configure Alternate Access Mapping for an additional Web Front End server, do the
following procedures:
1. In the Central Administration site, go to the Operations page and select Alternate
Access Mapping.
3. On the Alternate Access Mapping page, click on Show All and select Change
Alternate Access Mapping Collection.
4. In the Select an Alternate Access Mapping Collection dialog box, click the Web
application that you want to modify. If you have created only one Web application,
and you specified port 80 for the Web application, the Web application should be
listed as SharePoint (80). In the case of adding a new Web Front End server to a
small farm configuration, it would be the Web application on which Project Web
Access is configured.
5. Click Edit Outbound URLs. This will open the Edit Outbound Zone URLs page listing
outbound URLs for all zones for this Web application.
7. Click Save.
1. Install Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Beta 2, but do not run the
SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard (on the last setup
screen, deselect the Run the SharePoint Products and Technologies
Configuration Wizard Now option before closing the screen).
2. Install Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2. When you run the SharePoint Products
and Technologies Configuration Wizard, you can configure installations at the
same time.
To connect to Office Project Server 2007 by using Office Project Professional 2007
1. Open Office Project Professional 2007 Beta 2. On the Tools menu, select
Enterprise Options, and then select Microsoft Office Project Server
accounts.
a. In the Account Name box, type a unique name for this account.
b. In the Project Server URL box, type the URL to connect to this instance
of Office Project Server 2007.
c. Click Test URL to verify that the Project Server URL to which you want to
connect is available.
Note Clicking Test URL will only verify that the Project Server URL is
valid. It will not test if the user account you are specifying in the next step
is valid. Please verify that the account you are using is valid.
Use Windows user account This allows you to connect to Project Server by
using the credentials of the Windows user that is currently logged on to the
computer. This is the default setting.
Use a Project Server account This allows you to connect to Office Project
Server 2007 by using Project Server authentication. If you select this option, you
must type the user name for this account in the User name box, and then supply
the password when you attempt to make the connection.
If you want Office Project Professional 2007 to use this account as the default
account when connecting to Project Server, select Set as default account.
4. Click OK.
Connecting to Office Project Server 2007 by using Office Project Web Access
To initially connect to Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2 with Office Project Web Access,
type the Project Server URL into a Web browser. Verify that you are logged on to the
computer with the Windows user account that was used to install Office Project Server
2007 Beta 2, because by default Office Project Web Access uses Windows authentication.
After logging on to Office Project Web Access, you can create additional accounts to
access the server.
Downloading Beta 2 ActiveX Controls for Office Project Web Access
If you previously used Office Project Web Access on your computer to connect to the Beta
1 or Beta 1TR version of Office Project Server 2007, you will need to do a few
maintenance tasks to ensure that the ActiveX controls for Office Project Web Access Beta
2 load properly. On this computer, please do the following before attempting to establish
your Office Project Web Access connection to Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2.
5. When the Windows Explorer window opens, select the file named PjAdoInfo4
Class.
9. On the Internet Properties dialog on the General tab, in the Temporary Internet
Files section, click the Delete Files.
The Queueing and Eventing services cannot be created if the Share Service
Provider administrator account is not also a box administrator: Project Web
Access instance provisioning fails with an error
For Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2, the Shared Service Provider administrator account
needs to be an administrator on the application server(s) in the farm in order for Project
Web Access instance provisioning to successfully provision the queue and event services.
• Extranet Considerations
• Back-to-back perimeter
• Split back-to-back
Although there are obviously variations of these topologies, the ones that are officially
supported are these three as described below.
Perimeter in Proxy
Commonly referred to as Reverse Proxy, the Perimeter in Proxy extranet configuration
uses a reverse proxy server on the border of the Internet and the perimeter network to
intercept and then forward requests to the appropriate web server located in the intranet.
Using a set of configurable rules, the proxy server verifies that the requested URLs are
allowed based on the zone that the request originated from. The requested URLs are then
translated into internal URLs.
Advantages
• Simplicity and cost. It is relatively easy to implement in comparison to the two other
supported extranet topologies for Office Server 2007 and requires the least cost and
configuration.
• User requests that originate from the internal corporate network do not need to pass
through a proxy server, allowing quicker access to services and one less single point
of failure.
Tradeoffs
The main concern for the Perimeter in Proxy extranet configuration is that the proxy
server is the single point of entry into the network for users that are accessing services
from outside the internal corporate network. If this is compromised by hackers, external
users will not be able to access their sites.
Back-to-Back Perimeter
This configuration isolates the SharePoint implementation in a separate perimeter
network.
• Each layer can be separated by additional routers or firewalls to ensure that only
requests from other layers are allowed.
• Combining the network layers can reduce the complexity and cost.
This extranet configuration is characterized by the whole Office Server Farm running in
the perimeter network. This includes not only Web Front-End and Application Servers, but
also the SQL Servers hosting the data as well as other servers that support the network
such as DNS and Active Directory domain controllers. Proxy servers are configured to
accept internal requests from the corporate network as well as external requests from the
Internet.
Advantages
Tradeoffs
• Requests from the internal network are routed through the public interface of the
perimeter network (unless split DNS is implemented).
• The database servers hosting your data reside in the perimeter network.
• Internal requests will need to go through proxy servers, increasing the required time
to access data and introducing another single point of failure.
Split Back-to-Back
This extranet configuration is very similar to the Back-to-Back Perimeter configuration,
except the Office Server farm’s database servers are located within the internal corporate
network.
Advantages
• The database servers are located within the corporate network. If the extranet is
compromised, damage is limited to the perimeter network.
Tradeoffs
• This configuration is much more complex then the other two supported extranet
configurations.
• If the perimeter network is compromised, intruders will have access to the corporate
network.
• Internal requests will need to go through proxy servers, increasing the required tine
to access data and introducing another point of failure.
Extranet User Scenarios
Office Project Server 2007 extranet topologies are targeted to service two main customer
scenario types:
• Remote Users
Remote User
Extranets can provides services to allow employee access of corporate information and
electronic resources anywhere, anytime, any place, and on any device without requiring a
Virtual Private Network (VPN). These would include:
Extranets cans also be optimized for cross corporation collaboration. This allows for the
following:
• Both corporate employees and partner employees can view, modify, add, and delete
content required for the success of both companies.
• Configuring alerts to notify when content changes or to kick off a workflow process.
Extranet Considerations
It is important to consider the following topics when planning to configure your extranet
topology.
• Corporate network users can access the extranet using their corporate credentials.
• Content or a sub-set of content from a farm can be published directly from the
corporate network to the perimeter network.
• HTTPS to HTTP — The ISA Server computer terminates the SSL session and then
forwards the packet to the WFE server using HTTP. The resulting communication back
to the originating client is sent using HTTP.
• SSL Bridging —The ISA Server computer decrypts and inspects the incoming
HTTPS packet and then repackages the packet using SSL before forwarding the
packet to the WFE server. The WFE sends its response to the ISA Server computer
using SSL. The ISA Server computer again decrypts the SSL packet before forwarding
the packet back to the client within a new SSL packet.
• SSL Tunneling —The ISA Server forwards incoming SSL packets directly to WFE
servers. The WFE servers decrypt the packet and then respond using an SSL packet
that the ISA Server computer forwards directly to the client. The ISA Server computer
does not decrypt and inspect these tunneled packets.
• SSL
• IP Security extensions (IPSec) — If you choose this method, ensure that your
network load balancing tools support IPSec. IPSec is supported by Windows Server
Network Load Balancing.
• Allow internal corporate users direct access to the extranet resources without having
to pass through the Internet-facing proxy server.
• URLs that are entered into URL fields or that are auto-generated by Windows
SharePoint Services in Office Server 2007 are mapped.
• Absolute URLs are NOT mapped. Absolute URLs exist in text fields on Web pages as
well as within documents.
If a user hits the site with the URL of http://IP2, it is assumed that they are coming from
an intranet zone and will therefore be returned http://contoso as the address.
If a user hits the site with the URL of https://extranet.contoso.com, then it is assumed that
they are coming from an extranet zone and will be returned https://extranet.contoso.com
as the address.
1. ActiveX Controls Any place within PWA that the URL is handed off to the ActiveX
control then we will need to return the correctly mapped AAM URL. For example, in
a reverse proxy extranet configuration you will want to ensure ActiveX controls are
handing off the reverse proxy address to extranet users instead of the IP address
of the internal server.
2. Notifications Notifications are e-mail messages that are sent to Project Server
users for various purposes. AAM determines which outgoing URL is sent within the
notification e-mail messages. When AAM is configured, you can allow it to send an
extranet URL in notification e-mail messages to extranet e-mail messages versus
the default URL.
1. In the Central Administration site, go to the Operations page and in the Global
Configuration section select Alternate Access Mapping.
3. On the Alternate Access Mappings page, click on Show All and select Change
Alternate Access Mapping Collection.
4. Choose the Web Application for which you want to modify the Alternate Access
Mapping. For example, in the case of adding a new Web Front End server to scale
out a small farm configuration, it would be the Web application on which Project
Web Access is configured.
5. Click Edit Outbound URLs. This will open the Edit Outbound Zone URLs page listing
outbound URLs for all zones for this Web application. Enter the Outbound URLs
that you want returned to user from different zones.
6. Click Save.
