Project Server 2010: Error Message “Could not retrieve enterprise global template. Please contact your administrator.”

 

After renaming my SharePoint 2010 from an old to a new URL I could not longer access any project from this server.

The error message looked like this:

“Could not retrieve enterprise global template. Please contact your administrator.”

I could solve the problem by removing the existing Project Server Account connections in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0MS ProjectProfiles<[1..n] project server connections as sub keys>

Before that I copied the URL from the “Path” value under the registry key.

Then I recreated the Project Server Account by using Microsoft Project’s tool.
