I have a newly setup Project Server 2019. The SharePoint farm is installed in sharepoint. It has one-way trust domain with company and all my users is under company/PWAmembers AD group.

We have run STSADM.exe to configure the people-picker. So that both domain's members can show up in people picker.

Then I setup my first site collection with PWA feature: Enable-SPFeature pwasite -URL https://pwa.sharepoint.com

Then in PWA settings > Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization, I typed in "PWAm...." and the people picker can automatically resolved to "company/PWAmembers" which is the correct AD group I would like to setup.

When I click "Save" it throws and error The People Picker field contains unresolved or local entities, please correct this. and not allow me save and sync.

Here is the related ULS logs:

Are you sure, you configure people picker properly ?

PWA:http://sharepoint.com/sites/PWA,ServiceApp:Project Server Service Application, PSI: Failed to determine fqdn/netbios mapping of server COMPANY. exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007052E): The user name or password is incorrect

What kind of AD group is it? Domain local, global?

  • It is a global security group. Right after create the group, I can find it in the people picker (by type in PWA...) so I think I configure it correctly. However, it worth a try to retype the password.

  • I can successfully add PWAmembers in "Team lead in PWA" group. So I think my people picker configuration is correct. Only error is occur in AD Enterprise Resource Pool Sync's picker.

Project Server's Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization only support follow condition:

  1. The domain in which your SharePoint Server/Project Server farm is currently installed.

  2. A domain that has a two-way trust relationship with the domain in which your SharePoint Server/Project Server farm is currently installed.

So one-way trust is not supported.

Another reason, if two-way trust relationship present, can be network polices and blocking of some ports between domains, which will prevent successful synchronization. Unfortunately, I can't say exactly which ports, but a similar problem in my practice was solved at the level of network engineers, and not the Project Server admin.
