The Configuration and Administration training is a three day functional
hands-on class where students learn how to perform a
functional configuration and administer Project Server
for their organization. This is not a technical administration
or DBA class, but rather a Microsoft Office Project
Server course on the actual configuration (permissions,
tracking choices, view creations, enterprise fields,
importing projects, etc.) and administration of MS
Project Server for a specific use within an
organization. Students work in their own Project Server
environment to configure, and then administer Project
Server. It is the instructor’s belief that you must know
how it is built in order to properly administrate.
