      Is there a tool to batch “Publishing” of project plans nightly in Project Server 2007?

      Hi Edward,  I had this same issue when I was managing a Project Serve r2007 instance and we ended up writing a macro that opened, saved and published the schedules – based on each Project manager’s id.  It had to be run manually.  I am sure that this sort of thing could be automated in some way and expanded to include all projects.

      Hi Ed,
      you need to use the Project Server Interface (PSI) to programaticly to Check in projects and then Publish them.
      The downside is the check in. This may catch some PMs with projects off line for work in progress in some trouble.
      The PSI interface can be done by any of the usual suspects, PCubed (my company) included.
      At the risk of losing business I generally think this process should be a functional requirement of the PMs job. But then I dont really know your need.
