Q&A:

· Q: Is the SP2 for Project Portfolio Server 2007 installed in this VPC final?
o A: Project Portfolio Server (PPS) SP2 installed in this VPC v4 is not the version of officially released SP2 for PPS, but on parity feature-wise.
· Q: Why is the https://epm2007demo URL not in the IE’s Trusted sites anymore?
o A: Feel free to add the server URL into the IE Trusted sites list, especially if you are demoing the “out-of-the-box” reporting capabilities of Project Server that are using the Office Web Components. Else we discourage you to do so as you might get prompted for credentials on every time you try to access any sub-site in the https://epm2007demo location.
