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

· Ingo Karstein

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.

Please notice my disclaimer in the right sidebar!

I mean this tool: !Screenshot (It's german, sorry.) On Win 7 start menu enter "microsoft project". you should at least see two entries: "Microsoft Project 2010" and "Microsoft Project Server 2010 Accounts". Can you find it?
