EPM 2003 : Unexpected Server Response - when try to connect to the project server from Project Professional

this is one of the most common error of EPM 2003. there are number of things that need to be checked to get rid of of the error.
  • check whether the project server 2003 database is enlisted to the trusted sites list in the internet explorer. use fully qualified server name rather than just local computer name.
  • see whenther Authentication in security setting is set to , Automatic Logon with Current User Name and Password. if not make it.
  • Check the ActiveX settings for the internet explorer. what i did in my IE is that i put all enabled in any option related with ActiveX. works real good when you are intranet environment.
that's about it for today.............
