COM+ Settings Tool

Download the COM+ Settings Tool (PSCOMP.exe).

COM+ is an operating system-level extension to standard COM that allows for numerous specialized security and performance settings on a standard COM object. Using Dllhost.exe, COM+ can also force the component to run in its own process space, instead of running in the same process space as the caller (which, in many cases, is Microsoft® Internet Information Server (IIS) for Microsoft Project Server).

One feature of COM+ is that it allows Microsoft Project to specify a Microsoft Windows® NT® account for the object to run as. This is very similar to the concept that a Windows NT service can be set to run as a particular user. This is the only COM+ feature that Microsoft Project uses. All other COM+ features are explicitly turned off.

Microsoft Project relies on Windows NT authorization for:

• Connection to Microsoft SQL Server™ Analysis Services

• Online analytical processing (OLAP), including cube creation and maintenance

• Administration of SharePoint™ Team Services from Microsoft, to create subwebs and to add users

Distributed Setup Tool

Download the Distributed Setup Tool (prjsbox.exe).

The Microsoft Project Server Distributed Setup Tool provides an installer that enables scaling out a Microsoft Project Server deployment by distributing core services to additional servers. Distributing core services like session management for Microsoft Project Web Access clients, OLAP views processing services, and e-mail reminder services can improve the overall performance of your Microsoft Project Server deployment.

SetTracing Utility

Download the SetTracing Utility (SetTracing.exe).

The SetTracing tool is a debugging utility that enables a server administrator to control the output destination and severity level for Microsoft Project Server application errors and tracing information. This utility enables an administrator to control the tracing features of Microsoft Project Server, without having to manually adjust registry settings. By default, Microsoft Project Server logs all application errors to the Windows Event Log. This utility allows a server administrator to easily direct the tracing output to a text file, as well as to include success and other event types in the text file or event log.

Site Editor Utility

Download the Site Editor Utility (editsite.exe).

Microsoft Project Server Site Editor is a utility that allows you to manage your Project Server sites, on your IIS server.

The utility will allow you to setup additional sites, as well as maintain your existing sites.
