This blog focuses on customizations and programming for Project Web App, Project Server, Project Professional and Project Standard. Includes User Interface (UI) customizations, Project Server Interface (PSI) and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Programming. It also covers Business Intelligence.
I'm Phil Smail, one of the Program Managers from the Product Group. One of my presentations during the MOPC 2007 was one of security programmability. As part of that Presentation I demonstrated some code that I wanted to get onto this blog
This code is a Simple Effective Rights tool. It's essentially a cut down version of the View Effective Rights tool we shipped with the Project 2003 Project Resource Kit (and will be shipping soon in the Project 2007 Project Resource Kit)
It's a Winforms application that uses the PSI to brute force calculate why a user does/doesn't have the correct permissions. This version only does Project Permissions but could be very easily modified to handle Resource and Global permissions. It uses the PSI to work out the permissions
When you first start the application you'll get the following logon screen:
When you enter the URL you are presented with the main Form page:
There are three drop downs at the top of the page. One to select the User, the second to choose the relevant permission, and the third to choose the Project Name. One those details have been entered you just need to hit the 'EffectivizeName Possible my Rights' button. It then looks like the following:
The columns mean the following:
· All current and future projects in Project Server database
· Only the projects indicated
· The User is the Project Owner or the User is the Status Manager on assignments within that Project
· The User is on that project's Project Team, The Project Owner is a descendant of the User via RBS
· A resource on the project's Project Team is a descendant of the User via RBS
The Project Owner has the same RBS value as the User
The rules specified by the Category that may be relevant to the effective Permission
As you can see in the case above the following can be understood from this:
· The effective right is Deny for this user, this permission on this project
· The user is denied in 4 categories, 3 directly on the user, one through a group
What it's doing under the covers is going through the user object and working out what categories they have permissions on and whether the object exists and what permission the user has on those objects. It then goes through all the groups the user belongs to, works out what categories they have permissions on and calculates the same information. This will give the effective right the user has.
Why do we have to go through every item to work out the effective right of the user? Unfortunately there isn't a PSI that tells us the effective permission of a user other than the logged on user.
Due to the size of the Zip file, I need to split the file into two. This post has the second file. The main post will have the first file attached.

I just want to give everyone a heads up who is developing and registering event handlers for Project Server over the next few weeks. When you create, update or delete an event handler, a WSS timer job is created to do this work. These jobs are delayed by an hour due to a DST issue in WSS.
There are a couple of workarounds:
· Wait an hour for the event to be updated
· Set the clock back one hour and let the timer job run
For more information, see this KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932563
Last year I shared a couple of samples that showed how to sync the membership for the Project Workspace and how to trigger a RDB queue job for the issue, risks and deliverables in the Project Workspaces:
These samples seem to be popular. As a result, I have combined the two into a single application called Project Workspace Sync and released it to CodePlex:

Do you ever wonder how many projects are in a specific phase? Would you like to know the attributes of a specific resource? Are you looking when a specific milestone ends? Do you have users in your organization that are not part of the Project Server resource pool but still need to access the data? Being able to easily search valuable information is becoming a key feature in any organization.
This solution starter demonstrates how to leverage SharePoint Server's Business Data Catalog (BDC) to index project server data and enable users to search the different objects (projects, tasks, resources, lookup tables…) using SharePoint Server's Enterprise Search, and give you answers to all the questions above. Out of the box the Project Server data is not indexed (only the SharePoint objects are indexed for instance Issues, Risks, Documents…) and thus users cannot search the content contained in the Reporting database. This solution starter will thus enable you to mine the PS 2007 gold mine and find the nuggets you were looking for very easily!
This solution starter was created for a presentation I delivered last week at the SharePoint Conference to illustrate one of the benefits of deploying PS 2007 with SharePoint Server ( and not just WSS V3).

A good question came in yesterday; how to cancel the Project Before Save event in Project client:
Public Sub GlobalApplication_ProjectBeforeSave(ByVal pj As Project, ByVal SaveAsUi As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Cancel = True End Sub
Public Sub GlobalApplication_ProjectBeforeSave(ByVal pj As Project, ByVal SaveAsUi As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Cancel = True End Sub
(For demonstration and simplicity, this event handler just cancels all saves. You would most likely want to add validation and if it fails, cancel the save)
Unfortunately the above code will not work. Instead, you will want to use ProjectBeforeSave2:
Public Sub GlobalApplication_ProjectBeforeSave2(ByVal pj As Project, ByVal SaveAsUi As Boolean, Info As EventInfo) Info .Cancel = TrueEnd Sub
Public Sub GlobalApplication_ProjectBeforeSave2(ByVal pj As Project, ByVal SaveAsUi As Boolean, Info As EventInfo) Info .Cancel = TrueEnd Sub
Hope this helps,
The Object Link Provider (OLP) in Project Server 2010 enables the management of the Project-specific lists in a project site (issues, risks, deliverables, documents, and custom lists) and integration of the SharePoint lists with Project Server. The OLP has the same functionality as in Project Server 2007; however, you can use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to develop OLP solutions for Project Server 2010.
The attached code (OLP_Sample.zip) is a preview of an example that uses the CreateWebObjectLinks method, to be published in the next update of the Project 2010 SDK. Before you run the sample application, perform the following steps:
Use Project Professional 2010 to create and publish a project with at least one task.
Use Project Web App to open the project site.
Create at least one issue or risk in the Issues or Risks SharePoint list of the project site.
Change the OLP constructor values according to your example.
Add a web service reference to http://localhost/pwa/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx, and name the reference WebSvcLists.
This example performs the following tasks:
Verifies that the project, task, and project site exist and gets their corresponding GUIDs.
Links a task and a SharePoint list item (in this case, an Issue).
Links a task and a generic object.
Gets the list of SharePoint items that are linked to a task and writes the contents of the ObjectLinkProvider dataSet dsLinkedObjects to an XML file.
Gets a list of generic items that are linked to a task.
Deletes the links to web objects.
For more information about how the sample code works, see Procedures 1-6 in How to: Use the OLP to Link an Object to a Task.
An new version of the popular Tied Mode between Timesheet & My Tasks solution starter was published on CodePlex today:
Project Server 2007 Timesheet Tied-Mode Service and Event: http://www.codeplex.com/AutoStatusService
This new version give you the ability to import saved Timesheets into My Task in an asynchronous manner. For instance all TS imports could be scheduled during off peak hour at night for instance.
The functionality is the same as the initial solution starter; how and when the updates are processed is what changed. This new version significantly improves the timesheet queue throughput as well as the overall system stability by reducing the load on Statusing.
A special thank you to Mike Shughrue and Steven Haden from the EPM WW COE for creating and testing this solution starter.
If you are aware of any useful tools/solutions for Project and Portfolio Server 2007 and you would like to share them with the community via CodePlex please send me an email.

Phil Smail has this great code snippet for providing better error handling with regards to checked out resources:
While working with the PSI I wanted to check out a number of resources. Obviously the situation can arise where some of those resources are already checked out and I wanted to report that information to the client.
Unfortunately the PSClientError object only gives you information that there were resources already checked out but not which ones were checked out. The data is contained with the XML for the Exception so I wrote a helper function to extract this information out
The output from the code looks like the following:
The code is as follows:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;
using System.Xml;
namespace GetError
class Program
private const string RESOURCESWEBSERVICE = "/_vti_bin/PSI/Resource.asmx";
static GetError.ResourceWsc.Resource Resource = new GetError.ResourceWsc.Resource();
static void Main(string[] args)
String PWAURL = args[0];
Resource.Url = PWAURL + RESOURCESWEBSERVICE;
Resource.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
Guid[] restypeGuids = new Guid[2];
//Change these GUIDS to res Guids in your system
restypeGuids[0] = new Guid("{f461c3f7-e0c9-414f-ae1a-41abe862f709}");
restypeGuids[1] = new Guid("{4e5d7702-7748-4a18-bc5d-7beef7004188}");
Console.WriteLine("Trying to check out resources");
catch (SoapException ex)
String tempxml = ex.Detail.InnerXml;
static void ExtractError(String xmlstr)
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
foreach (XmlNode node in doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.ChildNodes)
String ErrString = "";
//We know its one error
XmlNode n = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem("value");
ErrString = "Error: Resource - " + n.Value;
XmlNode childn = node.FirstChild;
if (childn.Name.Equals("error"))
XmlNode no = childn.Attributes.GetNamedItem("name");
switch (no.Value)
case "CICOAlreadyCheckedOutToYou":
ErrString += " Resource already checked out to you";
case "CICOCheckedOutInOtherSession":
ErrString += " Resource checked out in another session";
case "CICOCheckedOutToOtherUser":
ErrString += " Resource already checked out to another user";
As I am sure many of you are aware that Project Server provides an event infrastructure that developers can create their own events for key pre and post events that occur on the server. Mike Shughrue from the Project's Center of Excellence has provided the attached sample code that is a great example on how to register events and how to create event handlers. I use this tool to register my events opposed to using the UI on the server.
For more information about events, check out the following SDK articles:
Leveraging the development aspects of Project Server 2007 spans a wide range of skills. PWA customizations (ASP.NET), workflow development, line of business applications integration using the PSI, extending Project Server functionality using server side events, specialized reporting from the Project Server databases and experience using VSTO are all areas of discussion.
The Project Server Product Group currently supports these efforts through channels such as the this Blog, Project Support WebLog, Project.Server Discussion, Project.Developer Discussion, and the Project 2007 Team Blog.
To streamline and augment the existing efforts, we are seeking developers to join the already established Project.Developer Discussion Group.
By joining we invite you to share and discover knowledge about Project Server 2007's highly extensible out-of-the-box developer's platform, access Project Server Developer best practices, utilize a technical window back to the MS Project Server Development Group, and take part in several specialized webcasts on Development topics coming up in the next couple months.

Jim has just posted a new technical article. Here are some details he sent me:
The article "Importing Project 2007 Tasks from Excel Using a Managed Code Add-In" is now published in the Technical Articles section of the Project 2007 SDK.
Article URL:
Associated download:
The article:
-- Explains how to develop a Project add-in that integrates with Excel, using Visual Studio 2008
-- Summarizes the differences between C# and VB development for add-ins
-- Includes extensive C# and Visual Basic code examples
-- Explains examples of routines that validate and convert subsets of Excel task data for import
-- Handles multiple task predecessors
-- Shows a way to handle task predecessors that would create COM exceptions -- Shows how to configure ClickOnce for deployment of the add-in
The download includes the complete C# and Visual Basic.NET code. Visual Studio Tools for Office (3.0), in Visual Studio 2008 (Beta 2), now includes templates for Project 2003 and Project 2007 add-ins. The new templates and ClickOnce publishing make it *much* easier to develop, deploy, and update add-ins for all Office applications.
You can download the Beta 2 release of Visual Studio 2008 from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa700831.aspx.

64-bit Office apps--including Project 2010--do not support COM add-ins, which are 32-bit. To use the 64-bit environment, COM add-ins must be ported to a 64-bit add-in by using the Office Development Tools in Visual Studio 2010 (often referred to as Visual Studio Tools for Office, or VSTO).
There is no direct conversion tool for porting 32-bit COM add-ins to VSTO for 64-bit Office apps. The amount of time to port a COM add-in can vary greatly, depending on the functionality and Project version for which it was designed. A simple add-in designed for 32-bit Project 2010 might take a few hours; something like Solution Starter: Scrum for Project 2003 (although I haven't done a port) might take several weeks and require a complete redesign, because it uses features that are no longer available in Project and Excel 2003 – and it was written in VB6.
· VSTO in VS 2010 supports only Office 2007 and 2010.
· Carefully check the types when you convert the code (int, long, etc.).
· When doing the port, you can use compiler constants to make the code usable in both 32-bit and 64-bit Office apps. See Tables of VBA Object Model Changes for a VBA example, and for a comparison of types in VB and C#.
See also (VBA-related, not specifically for add-ins) Working with VBA in Office 2010 (32-bit) and Office 2010 (64-bit).
You might also want to check out Add-In Express 2010; see, for example, Converting existing Office COM add-in projects to Add-in Express.
This is a little late, I missed that I didn't post this. Q&A and demos from the March 12th webcast.

The Project 2010 SDK includes a general discussion about updating applications developed for Project Server 2007 to run with Project Server 2010. Because the PSI in Project Server 2010 is a superset of the previous PSI, many ASMX-based applications can run unchanged on a Project Server that uses only Windows authentication -- but all require testing before deployment on Project Server 2010!
The Project Server Programmability page includes the Porting Applications Built for Project Server 2007 section, which links to the Migration and Compatibility of Custom Solutions section in the Overview of WCF and the PSI. In addition to the information on those pages, applications for multi-authentication installations of Project Server 2010 must be updated to handle forms-based and Windows-based authentication in the Claims environment of SharePoint Server.
The ASMXLogon_MultiAuth sample in the recent Code samples from the Project 2010 SDK webcast blog post provides an example, using the information in the Using Claims Multi-Authentication discussion in the Prerequisites for ASMX-Based Code Samples article of the SDK.
Even if your older application works on Project Server 2010, and you use only Windows authentication, it is a good idea to update the web service (ASMX) references and recompile, as described in Migration and Compatibility of Custom Solutions .
The SharePoint 2010 developer conference presentation files are available in PowerPoint and XPS format. They include developer presentations for integrating with Office 2010 clients. See SharePoint 2010 Presentations: Developer Conference Session Files.
We are pleased to announce the dates and location for the 2008 Office Developer Conference!
When: February 10-13, 2008
Where: San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, CA
Who: 2000 developers and architects who build solutions on the Office platform (Office clients, servers, and services)
ODC 2008 will bring together architects, developers, industry technical experts, Microsoft insiders and key partners in a public forum for the first time! Together, we will redefine what it means to be focused on Microsoft Office development, exchange ideas on how to continue innovating in this ever-changing space, and share best practices on how to craft the next generation of Office Business Applications. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates will deliver a special keynote that is not to be missed.
We are giving you advance notice that our public site http://www.odc2008.com is going live on Monday morning, Sept. 17th. We will keep you updated when registration opens and as we have more information to share about the event. In the meantime, please help to spread the word about the conference and visit the site on Monday so you can subscribe to updates as we post them.
See you there,
- The 2008 ODC Team
Answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about the conference:
Who is the Microsoft Office System Developer Conference for?
Those involved or interested in using the Microsoft Office system (clients, servers, and services) as an application development platform. For example, people in technical roles e.g. architects, developers, designers, and technical managers.
Who can attend?
The conference is open to the public.
Is this the first time for this conference?
No, Microsoft has held this conference three times in the past (2004, 2005, 2006). However, those conferences were only open to a select group by nomination/invitation. This is the first conference that is open to the public.
Will it cost to attend the conference?
Yes, there will be a reasonable registration fee for the conference. For those that register early, we will have a special early bird rate as well.
How many people are you expecting?
We're expecting between 1800-2000 attendees
Which products/technologies will this conference cover?
Obviously, the conference will cover everything in Microsoft Office system, including clients, servers and services, but business productivity applications don't exist in isolation. More and more, we're finding that people are using others parts of the technology stack and bringing together various technologies to make applications more compelling. So a great number of sessions will have topics involving Office application development in the context of leading-edge technologies such as VOIP, Silverlight, integration with third-party line of business applications, etc.
What tracks will you offer?
We are still finalizing the organization of the more than 60 sessions planned. Track information will be available as registration opens in October.
I've heard there's also a SharePoint Conference. What's the difference?
The SharePoint conference will take place in March 2008 in Redmond, WA. Unlike the Microsoft Office System Developer Conference, the SharePoint conference is primarily intended for those in IT who use, deploy, and configure SharePoint. If you are focused on SharePoint deployment you should attend the SharePoint Conference. If you are a SharePoint developer you should attend Office System Developer Conference. Here you will find the most information about how to develop solutions that not only build on the SharePoint platform, but also take advantage of the other technologies in the Office system.
Why didn't you just have the conference at the same time/location with SharePoint Conference so people could attend both?
We did look into this but couldn't make this happen due to lack of suitable space.
Who is delivering the keynote?
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates will be delivering a special keynote presentation. Visit our site www.odc2008.com in October to find out more about the other keynote speakers!
Why did you choose San Jose instead of having the conference in the Seattle area?
We looked at several options. Lack of suitable space was a key factor. Also, average temps in San Jose in Feb are Low: 45°F (7°C) High: 63°F (17°C) with 2.84 in (7.21 cm) of precipitation, whereas in Seattle the averages are Low: 37°F (3°C) High: 51°F (10°C) and 4.09 in (10.39 cm). It wasn't a difficult decision to make.
Who will present sessions?
Sessions will be presented by Microsoft experts and MVPs, as well as other industry/technical experts.
Will you have non-Microsoft staff presenting sessions?
Yes. If you or someone you know would like to present on a relevant technical topic, we' d be happy to consider them, though slots are very limited. To submit a session idea, please send all relevant information to firstname.lastname@example.com
Where can I find more information?
Our web site www.odc2008.com will have more information about the conference as it becomes available. Check back often or sign up to get notified!
For simple information discovery - we have just published a Project 2010 Demand Management resource center that centralizes all information around Demand Management and Portfolio Strategy into one single location.
Many of included links include pure developer resources. We have decided not to fragment the resources between TechNet and MSDN – that's why you might find also developer-related link to MSDN content in the above TechCenters.
Many of included links include pure developer resources. We have decided not to fragment the resources between TechNet and MSDN – that's why you might find also developer-related link to MSDN content in the above TechCenters.
This new resource center is the third dedicated resource center for Project 2010 – the full list below:
· Demand Management for Project 2010 - http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9739874
· Business Intelligence for Project 2010 - http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9726143
· Upgrade and Migration to Project 2010 - http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9676814
These centers are part of the Project Server 2010 TechNet TechCenter http://technet.microsoft.com/projectserver/ee263909.aspx and their concept is to collect relevant information in one place and to give end-to-end information from getting started quickly to deep dive.
Q: Do I have to have a special product of flavor of Project Server 2010 to get the Demand Management and Portfolio Strategy functionality?
A: All you need to have is Project Server 2010 – all included ready when you need it. You are probably referring to the 2007 release and Project Portfolio Server 2007 that was a standalone product used in conjunction with Project Server 2007 to manage full project life-cycle from initiation through selection to planning and managing the project.
Q: I'm using the Project Portfolio Server 2007. Is there any migration path to Project Server 2010?
A: Yes – there is. Please visit the Upgrade and Migration to Project 2010 - http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9676814 that has a whole section dedicated to migrating from Portfolio Server 2007.
Q: I'm a developer, what's in there for me?
A: Many of included links include pure developer resources. We have decided not to fragment the resources between TechNet and MSDN – that's why you might find also developer-related link to MSDN content in the above TechCenters.
The April update of the SDK is now available on MSDN. It includes many final versions of articles that have been published as posts on this blog.

Even though Boris has moved on to another team in Microsoft, he still wanted me to share the following with you:
Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 is built on top of Windows SharePoint Services, so you might think you can develop AJAX Web Parts as you do in Windows SharePoint Services, right?
Unfortunately it's not that easy. Actually the Web Part development process is the same, but you need to configure Project Server 2007 for AJAX support.
Here's what you need to do:
You must configure the Project Web application and the Shared Services Provider Web Application to support calling Web services from script. In the Web.config file for the application, you must register the ScriptHandlerFactory HTTP handler, which processes calls made from script to .asmx Web services. For Web service calls that are not issued from ASP.NET AJAX script, the handler delegates the call to the default handler.
You need to add the following lines to the web.config located in:
[C:\Program Files]\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\WebServices\root
<remove verb="*" path="*.asmx" />
<add verb="*" path="*.asmx" validate="false" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
You also need to add the following line to the web.config of your project server installation which can be found here:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\[PSweb app directory]
<add verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=126.96.36.199, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false"/>
After making those changes to the config files the client runtime is now enabled for AJAX and you can start building AJAX Web Parts.
Have fun
When we shipped Project Server 2007 we made sure that timesheet data was readily available to query in the Reporting Database, however one thing that we didn't do was make it super easy to spot a surrogate timesheet (defined as a timesheet entered on a team member's behalf by another Project Server user who has the surrogate timesheet permissions) - one reason was that we wanted mainline timesheet reports to not have to care, and be able to aggregate/report on the data without special case code.
If you are faced with the need to identify surrogate timesheets the query below, run against the RDB, will help:
SELECT DISTINCT TS.OwnerResourceNameUID AS N'Team Member'
, TSA.LastChangedResourceNameUID AS N'Surrogate Team Member'
, TS.TimesheetUID
FROM dbo.msp_timesheet AS TS
INNER JOIN dbo.msp_timesheetline AS TSL
ON TS.TimesheetUID = TSL.TimesheetUID
INNER JOIN dbo.msp_timesheetactual AS TSA
ON TSL.TimesheetLineUID = TSA.TimesheetLineUID WHERE TSA.AdjustmentUID = N'00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' -- Not an adjustment
AND TS.OwnerResourceNameUID <> TSA.LastChangedResourceNameUID -- Submitter <> TS Owner
We are basically looking at the timesheet lines that haven't been adjusted - if the person who last saved them isn't the same as the person who owns the timesheet then we know its a surrogate - the lines were submitted by another user.
Usage Note: The two resource UID can be used to join to other timesheet tables - don't join on these directly to the MSP_EPMResource_UserView or other tables in the EPM schema as you won't get a match - instead you should join though the RDB slowly changing resource name table (MSP_TimesheetResource) to get the base ResourceUIDs and use these for the EPM schema.
Hope this helps - if you are struggling to get a question answered from RDB data feel free to post a response to this article and we'll see what we can do.
Happy New Year for 2009 (Chris - first post!)
Christophe just passed along this information:
The EPM 2007 Test Data Population Tool solution starter was published on CodePlex today: http://www.codeplex.com/EPMDatapop
The EPM 2007 Test Data Population Tool enables you to load large amounts of EPM data: resources, projects, tasks, assignments into a Project Server 2007 database. You can then use this data to test loads and help your organization plan for your Project Server 2007 deployment. This tool is similar to the EPM 2003 Data Population utility but contains more features plus since the sources are provided you can customize it to fit your specific needs. It was written by EPM World Wide Center of Excellence (WW COE) to generate data needed to perform performance and scalability labs for large and complex EPM deployments.
The EPM 2007 Test Data Population Tool is a Win Form application that leverages the Project Server Interface (PSI) and/or WinProj (Project Professional).
This solution starter includes a 15 pages document, a setup.exe to deploy it, as well as all source code.
A special thank you to Mike Shughrue and Michael Jordan from the EPM WW COE for creating and testing the tool extensively during scalability labs, as well as Boris Scholl from the Product Marketing Group for reviewing the code and documentation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ErinPDX Great Coat! This is a great coat to wear around town. It is light and comfortable. If you live in a very cold climate, you might want something that is a little thicker. When it gets colder than 20 degrees F, it's not always the perfect choice. I do have some problems with the zipper from time to time which is why I dinged the quality a little bit. November 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by alkeni It Does Keep You Warm! I really enjoy this coat. It has inset hand cuffs that covers your hands. It's a long jacket so that adds to the warmth. Looks great with boots. It does run small, so if you plan to wear a sweater underneath it, allow for room when deciding on sizing. Even though it has a hood, I still would wear a hat or head covering as it is a little loose on top. The only thing that I was disappointed with was paying regular price for it, and now I see that it has been reduced by $60.00!!!! November 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Babooshka Lightweight cold weather solution Loving this coat! Slightly longer length is perfect for work and weekends. Am impressed with the lightweight easy movement for such warmth and wind protection. Already a larger women - much appreciation for all the winter protection without added bulk. So far, have not been as down about winter as I finally have a coat that is so comfortable! Might have ordered down a size-but worried about hip comfort on the longer length. Like that the coat still has some shape vs the box look for this size by other companies. November 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by carrielynnigan75 Loved this coat! I bought this coat when I found out I was moving to Edmonton, AB. I've worn it regularly in temperatures that were 40° below zero, and I was never cold. The only drawback is that the hood is large and doesn't cinch well. But I wore a ski hat underneath anyway so that wasn't a big deal for me. Overall, this coat exceeded my expectations and I am online now about to order my second coat as my current coat is now three years old. (By the way it's still in great shape despite having been worn seven months per year for the past three years; I'm just ready for a new color.) The coat does run a little small; I would recommend ordering up one size, especially if you're planning to layer sweaters underneath. November 22, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Lges This coat is ridiculously small This coat is like 2 sizes smaller than it should be Haorrible November 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rima AWesome! I love this jacket so much, even though i wore for one day, but it kept me so warm! November 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aglet1023 Coat wit Potential Living in Chicago, I will be putting this coat to the ultimate test very soon. So far, so good, this coat has kept me warm during the fall's cold and rainy weather. For the time being, I recommend this coat but my final review will be when I can test it at our coldest. I have a good feeling about it keeping me warm in -20°F weather. November 1, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nynie This is a very nice jacket I really like this jacket, I worn it in a rainy And very windy day and eventhough it wasnt raining cats and dogs or extremely cold it keep me dry and warm. I would have to wait till the temperatures drop a little bit more to really put it to the test. October 21, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by deencee Great coat but a little big I ordered a 2x based on the description that it fits slightly small. It was actually a little bit roomy. I think I'll keep it anyway and just wear big sweaters under it. It is very light weight and does the job at keeping you very warm and cozy. My only complaint is mainly the size and I think I'll order this in a smaller size next time. October 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by megancritch Amazon woman will be warm this winter I purchased this coat looking for a coat that went down over my butt. I am 5'10 and some of the coats that are long are not long enough. I also have issues in the length of the sleeves. This fits perfect in both of those trouble areas. I usually wear a size XL but because of the length and sleeve issue I ordered a size 1X and I love it so far. Not that I am wanting to wish away the fall season, I can not wait to wear this coat come winter! October 8, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hockeymomma Nice & Light Coat! Really happy with the purchase. The quality is really good. Light weight and style is awesome. I am 5'6" with pear shape. I ordered 1X and this coat fit well. I can zip it up! Only compliant is quality of the zipper is not that good. Yes I would recommend this coat to large women. September 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jillypooh Love the lenght Soft, light weight and movable material lets you drive a car without removing your jacket. Great on cold buffalo days with the use of the hood. September 17, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by msdanny hated it!!! The coat was so flimsy i don't know how it could possibly keep me warm. As soon as i trod it on i put it back in the box to send it back. September 3, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by kris2487 pretty i was on the fence about 2x or 3x and per previous reviews i went w/ 2x but now wish i would have went w/ 3x. i just got my coat and tried it on w/ a t-shirt and shorts and its a little snug. so guess I'm gonna have to lose some weight cause I'm not gonna send it back. August 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by heff0 Best Coat Ever This coat fits beautifully. I usually have a very hard time finding a good fitting winter coat and this one is perfect. I purchased a 2x because I want to be able to put a sweater underneath and this works great! I like that it's very light weight, but know that it will be warm in a Chicago winter. August 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dlpcanuck Great Jacket! Incredible jacket, I'm 5'3, chesty and chubby. This jacket not only kept me warm, sometimes I had to put an extra layer on because it was super cold last year in Pa. But the jacket is flattering as well. I was worried the jacket would make me look like a linebacker, but it didn't at all. I had compliments every time I wore it. I was worried when I first received it, its not thick, it's super light weight.. It did the trick! Best jacket ever. P.S, it wasn't to long either. August 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by MichelleLeigh78 Fits Perfectly! I was a bit hesitant to order this in a 1X, but glad I did. This is the first Columbia jacket that fits me properly. All the other 1X jackets/coats are too tight in the hips and the 2x ones too big. I'm 5'4 and a size 18ish with short arms. Plenty of room if you have t & a! Hoping the seams hold up because there are so many areas where the stitching could fail. This jacket is super warm and very flattering. January 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stefanie Pleasantly Suprised I purchased this coat on a whim, forgoing my usual wool coat that I freeze in all winter. Finally deciding I was going to have a warm coat this winter. I searched every website and store I could find and eventually stumbled upon this jacket. I am 5'7'' with a long torso and arms, so finding clothing that fits well is challenging. Most of the jackets I had tried thus far went up to my forearms when I put my arms out in front and are so puffy I feel like the stay puft man from Ghostbusters. I decided to purchase one of these jackets despite being unable to try it on as there are no stores carrying it near me and I figured "why not?". Living in Green bay, WI, I worried that it would not be warm enough, based on other reviews. I can 100% say that is not the case. This week it has been below zero temps, currently it is 5 degrees, but with windchill feels like -18. I walk across a open parking lot 1 block wide to get to my work and I can definitely say wearing this jacket, I am not cold, any area covered by this jacket is toasty warm. There are a few downsides to this jacket. 1. As I mentioned, I have long arms, thus, the thumb holes feel like they are attempting to sever my thumbs if I put my arms out, however, this is not a deal breaker as I simply don't use the holes, I find no real difference as the material still seals well. 2. The dang zipper is one of the most frustrating zippers it has been my displeasure to work with. If I were not so thrilled with the rest of this jacket, the zipper would ruin the deal for me. Columbia if you read this, please examine the zipper, it sticks and catches and takes 3-4+ times to attempt to zip with the right maneuvering. With those being said, I would still recommend this coat in a heartbeat for anyone who is looking for a long jacket that provides an amazing amount of warmth. As a testament to this jacket, for Christmas I went on to purchase one for my mother who is in her late 50's and is constantly cold, she loves it as well! January 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Milwjoyce slimming coat! I love the way this coat is so slimming! It is also really warm using Omni heat technology. It only weighs 2 pounds. It runs a bit small. My usual size was too smug when worn over a sweater. I love having the 2 way zipper when I sit down. December 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by susie2014 Not true to size I am very happy with this coat with the exception that it is rather not true to size. I will have to return it for a smaller size. Otherwise it is a very nice coat. December 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Itswitzytumblr Just perfect !! Love this coat. The little thumb holes on the sleeves are great and the pockets are coZy. The jacket is so soft and warm and airy December 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by WarmInMinneapolis Mighty Light AWESOME So... I will start this review off by stating that I live in Minneapolis. I have a close and personal relationship with bitter cold (I would say not by choice, but that's a lie. Go Twins). This coat... Takes the cake. I traded out my threadbare 3 in 1 interchangeable jacket for this thin little slice of heaven and could not be happier. When the mercury dips into the negatives, I throw on my long Benton springs fleece jacket for layering and I am good to go. The wind does not penetrate this jacket whatsoever, which was important for me. Standing temperatures don't bother me, its the wind chill that irritates me. I'm built like a chunky Amazonian woman... 5'10 with a large chest and hips, so the 2X was perfect - Roomy enough to move and layer when necessary. I generate a lot of heat, so the OmniHeat tech is absolutely divine. If you're constantly cold, this would not be the jacket for you. The only thing I don't like about the jacket is how dainty the outer fabric seems. Stitching has come undone in some areas, which I fixed with a little knot using my thread and needle. I, however, don't feel this is a deal breaker because dang it... I'm warm and not puffy looking. I have recommended this coat to 3 people at work - Now, all three of us dance donning our light jackets in the parking lot while the other office gnomes grimace in their cubicles. Win.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fenton Big girls, this will fit you! I am so excited about this coat, really and truly! I searched everywhere looking for a new coat because I haven't had one in years and I needed to make a wise decision. I'm a big girl, almost pushing the 3x sizing (also only 5ft), so that makes the search for size, quality, and price pretty difficult. I read reviews and was somewhat concerned about sizing, where the waistline would fit, if it would zip, and whether it would be warm enough for the wind-whipping Illinois winters. I walk about four blocks into work, so I really need something that has me covered. I do tend to run hot, so the omni-heat works really well for me. So far I've worn the coat into the high teens with howling wind and every place that the coat covers is kept incredibly warm! I will have to experiment with colder days, too. The color is beautiful, and the quality is great- the pockets are lined with fleece and wonderfully deep. What a relief of a purchase for me! It gives me shape, is stylish, and is everything I thought I would never find in a coat (as a fat girl). The zipper can take an extra minute to work sometimes, but that's such a minor issue for me, I can't be alone in being glad that something this beautiful even ZIPS! I read other reviews about people saying the outside fabric is delicate and pulls easily, which could be true- if you're not careful. Just be mindful of treating your stuff properly. Thank you, Columbia, for making such a wonderful coat! December 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CindiCC Slim fit and warm I had all 3 plus sizes to try on. I am between size 18 and 20 but even with a thick sweater, the 1X fit well through the body and shoulders. While I generally find sleeves long on me, these aren't so the sleeve extension cuts into my hands a bit. Overall very happen with this coat. December 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by GopherLover Lightweight and Warm I have used this coat as an everyday coat since it arrived and am glad I purchased it. The coat runs small so order 1 size up, however the arms are long. I am about 5' 8 and normally wear a 2x but after trying on in the store I knew to order the 3x. My first impression of the extended cuff with thumb loops was that I would hate them and they would be in my way all the time. However, I am actually enjoying them. They keep out the wind and cold and help keep the hands warm on days when you don't have your gloves. I have worn the coat in the 40's and not been too hot in it even wearing it when running into the grocery store, and worn it in the 10's and still been comfortably warm. It is very lightweight and I love that. I cannot drive in a coat that is bulky and this has been perfect. My one complaint would be that the hood will not stay on if there is any wind at all, unless you zip the zipper all the way up. Overall, this is a great lightweight but warm coat and I am happy with my purchase. December 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jackiem515 Lightweight and warm It does exactly what it is supposed to and is super comfortable. December 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anggbfan Awesome Jacket This jacket is amazing! It fits with enough room to layer If need be and I can do my errands while staying really warm and not feeling bulky. At first I thought it was too thin but I was wrong lol. It keeps real warm. I love the hood and thumb holes and the stitching designs. I have received many compliments. I live in Indiana so it can get pretty cold but I love new jacket. December 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mkhmn Amazing Lightweight Warm Winter Coat I am tired of the big, bulky and HEAVY winter parkas that I've been wearing - you know, the kind of coat that immediately overheats you when you go into a store, to the point you have to take it off. ARGH. I have been on the hunt for a lightweight yet warm winter coat for a couple of years. Nothing has been what I wanted. So this year I did a google search and was led right to this coat. I can't say enough good about this coat. The lack of weight is amazing for a knee length winter coat. The inside has the Omni-heat lining that is reflective material that uses your own body heat to warm you but still allows the coat to be incredibly light. The arms have a cuff that includes a thumb hole at the end which I imagine is handy for some people. I'm not one of those people, but it is not necessary to use the thumb holes at all. The cuff is stretchy enough to stay pretty tight around your wrist and prevents wind from moving up the arm hole. The coat is attractive, too. I bought black and I get nothing but compliments on it. The only problem with the coat is the hood, which is not able to be made tighter. It's still a good hood, but it is not something to keep the ears as warm as it could with the somewhat loose hood. I love this coat so much that when Black Friday came around (two weeks after I bought the coat) I ordered another one in another color for myself. I'm a person that falls in love with a shoe or a product and then if I don't buy another, they usually get discontinued and I'm out of luck. Not this time - I will be more than ready for a bunch of long winters in these coats. As far as sizing, I can wear an XL or a 1X in most everything but I followed other reviewers advice and got the next size up. It fits perfectly and I still have some room in case I wear a sweater or something more bulky on top. Love the coat - it gets the highest of recommends from me. December 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kiyala8 Warm I love that it's light weight and keeps me warm. December 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by designr1005 warm so far I ordered this in a 2x based on the reviews which said it ran small, it was to big. I normally wear a 1x so I say it runs true to size. I have only worn it for 2 days and they were both in the 30's it did seem to keep me warm and toasty. I always look for a thin but warm coat since the Chicago winters are cold and hopefully this will fit the bill. December 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amysunshine Perfect This jacket is so very light weight. It is like a miracle space suit! It is SO warm. I put it to the true test looking at property in Northern Minnesota when the wind chills were -30. I was not cold at all with NO layering under the jacket. I wore it shopping in Minneapolis which was a bad move because I got very over heated in the stores. I love the look of this jacket and it is super warm. December 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MittenMissy Overall amazing coat I'm a bigger girl and I love that I could actually find a longer coat to fit me. It's light weight but does a great job of keeping me warm. I'm located in Michigan so it's functions well in our up and down temperatures of winter this far. I'm happy with the product over all, however the built in hand cuffs with the thumb holes I wish were removable. They're thin enough fabric that I push them back into my sleeves and wear my own gloves. Great coat and love the two way zipper! December 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lapapa 2X Black i'm 5'3" 200 lbs all belly. Some of the other long coats made me even more round... this was a perfect 2X for me. It has plenty of room for an extra sweater, but i'm fine without one. It's not the warmest coat for our cold Chicago Winters but for me it's perfect since I already own Columbia's short puffer coat which is easier to drive!! November 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by EM77 Warm but sizing is a little off Great coat, will definitely keep you warm. Only issue I had was the sizing. I purchased the 3X so that I could wear bulky sweaters, for the most part the fit was ok, but the arms were tight & just made it uncomfortable to wear. Ended up returning & going with a different brand. If there were a 4X, I might have exchanged. November 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jane321 Love the length! I just got this in the mail today. I have been anticipating it all week, and based on reviews I didn't know if it would work or not. 1) very lightweight 2) I can move easily in it 3) I took my measurements and could have actually gone down a size. It's a little big but not worth returning 4) of course it was snowing last week and now it's 40 degrees but so far it's been great- true test will come later I'm sure November 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancy60 Excellent Product Everything about this jacket is perfect. The description is exactly what it is so there were no surprises when I received it.its functional comfortable and even fashionable as I wear it with career clothes as well as casual jeans and boots. I love the quill color and the length is perfect. With the omni heat lining it is amazingly warm without the bulk and I absolutely love that feature. November 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by carolanne Over Promised and Under Delivered I bought this coat based on reviews and the fact it is supposed to keep warm. I walk my dogs twice a day, every day, winter, summer, spring, fall, no matter how cold. Let me start by saying I'm in the midst of menopause and I've got plenty of body heat. I don't even sleep with blankets half the time. I felt like I was walking around naked and afraid. There was no heat to be had, no protection from the wind or cold. The only good thing about this coat are the thumb holes so I didn't have zero degree winds blowing up my arms. I think about the only time of year this coat would be good might be early spring. I wouldn't recommend this coat if you're trying to stay warm. Even with layers, it's not going to do the trick. It will be returned tomorrow. November 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kris68 Has what it takes! I was not sure this coat would be warm enough for a Minnesota winter, but since it came early I found out! Love this coat. The length was what hooked me but I find it plenty warm too. I agree with another review that it helps to wear the coat a couple minutes before you go out. I am getting compliments on the fit too! November 20, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by RWinWI OK coat if you're not in super cold climate I like the way this jacket fits, except for the hood. It fills up with wind and blows off. It would be great if it had an adjustable cord inside. We haven't had too many days below 30 yet, but I suspect this jacket won't do me much good under 20, especially if it is windy. Columbia didn't offer any temperature range with this product so I took a chance. I will still enjoy this jacket for a few months of the year, and maybe when I'm skiing or snowshoeing, but I will need to find something warmer for everyday wear December-February. November 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by awindyday good concept, needs some tweaks Wear a 16-18. purchased the 2x based upon reviews saying runs small (I found otherwise). I was going to return for smaller size. Then, gave test: In very unsheltered area, 27 degrees w 30mph consistent wind, while wearing light shirt... I felt wind come right through the jacket. I think it may be better with a wool sweater or something. But, for this price I would expect it should handle a bitter fall day. Not quite! Size: Top area, shoulders above chest fit ok despite being much larger than my size. But the waist and hips bell way out. So, maybe runs small up high and true to size (way too big for me) down further (and I have a gut). Was going to return for smaller size but, after stood in wind... feeling disappointed. It would not handle below zero without really good bottome layer(s). Loose Hood has no adjustment mechanism. So is more for over other hats scarves. Blows off. The lightweight fabric and breathable concept is great! So it's sad to part with because it was exactly what I thought I had been looking for (and still am) breathable,hood, not too short. in plus size. November 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by sarkro Very Cold in MN I purchased this jacket based on reviews that were from customers that live in cold states. I am from MN and after reading positive comments I thought this was the jacket for me. However, I was greatly disappointed after only wearing this jacked once on a 38 degree day with wind that made the temperature feel like 28 degrees this should not be considered a winter jacket for cold regions of the United States. I could feel the wind blowing through the jacket. Luckily I brought along a fleece jacket and changed and I was much warmer wearing just a fleece than the supposed winter jacket. If this jacket does not keep you warm on a 38 degree day, I am not sure how it would do on a -38 degree day that we have in MN. November 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marie27 I love this coat I'm so happy that I found the coat that I like it so warm and comfortable I'll be ordering some more stuff soon November 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BendOR Great Jacket!!! I was stressed this jacket wouldn't fit after reading reviews,but I found it was true to size. I could even fit layers under it. This jacket is so warm, and it's not super bulky and heavy. I am obsessed with it and can't wait to wear it more. Thanks so much for making a quality plus size jacket! November 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by scrappytx This coat is okay I bought this coat to wear when I travel to North Dakota in a few weeks. I wanted something long that would keep me warm in very cold temperatures. I am 5'0" tall and I normally wear a size 18. I had been reading the reviews that the size ran small so I initially ordered a 3X. It was huge on me so I returned it for a 2X. This was a good fit and I would have been able to do some layering underneath if I wanted too. My complaint with the coat is that it was a little too lightweight. I wore it outside here in Texas when it was just a little chilly with the wind blowing and I felt like it did not keep me warm. Also, the arms were too long. I really liked the thumb hole feature in the sleeves. If the sleeves fit right that would have been perfect for keeping my wrists warm after putting on gloves. The pockets were too low for me as well. With my short arms only my fingers fit inside the pockets when I was standing up. I ended up returning the 2X as well. October 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BostonLibrarian Great jacket! I ordered this jacket because I wanted a black hooded jacket that was a longer length. I don't like the one put out by another popular company because it's so bulky. This one has a much cuter shape and also has thumbholes in the cuff. It's a very thin material, but seems quite warm. I live in New England, and I think it will work out really well. I should say that I'm typically a 14/16 (L/XL) in clothes, but I find that Columbia runs tight through the hips. If you have hips and are around that size, I recommend ordering the 1X. It may be a bit roomy in the chest, but otherwise it's wonderful. August 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chrissie31 awesome jacket I love this long jacket. It is the lightest and warmest jacket I have ever owned. The thumb holes are very handy and keep the sleeves down so well, I hardly need to wear gloves. I purchased this jacket in the "dark purple" color and find it is very flattering. December 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by cc85 Nice Jacket This jacket is pretty nice. It was not as thick as I was expecting. It would not make a good winter coat. It is a light jacket. I like how it is longer than most jackets. Columbia makes a good product. It was just not what I was expecting. That was my fault for not reading more about this product before purchasing. I am still happy I have it to add to my jacket/coat collection. I am still in the market for a nice warm winter coat though. November 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by kgouza Great Jacket!! I have had this jacket for about two weeks now and I LOVE IT!! It is so comfy that I find myself wearing it all the time. Not bulky at all but still very warm. I really like this jacket because when I wear it, I don't get overly warm in it. It helps just regulate my normal body temp. I also really like thumb holes in the cuffs. Overall a great buy!!!! November 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by NDicicle Winter in North Dakota..... The jacket keeps the warmth in and the cold out as advertised... You can really feel the omni-heat kicking in when you start moving- I like to put mine on a few minutes before heading out the door to warm up the air inside the coat. You'll want to wear a hat under the hood to take up some of the extra space. I love the length, keeps my bum warm!!! Had it for a week and a 3 inch stretch of seam on the right sleeve just opened up... I stitched it closed myself and it looks fine. Some of the threads on the stitching overall fray and look a little bit ragged, but other than than, the coat works and feels great! Super light, slimming, and I can wear a light work blouse underneath, I don't have to layer at all... YAY! November 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SweetPea444 Women's Mighty Lite Hooded Jacket Omni -Heat thermal reflective lining and insulation is everything they proclaim. Watching a soccer game on top of a hill in 30 degree temperature with whipping winds was the test to prove how very good their product is. I am enjoying the jacket. November 21, 2013

Hi richard williams, if you already used the "Trasnfer systm" option under your epo server ad you still have a significant amount of them that still talk to the old epo server then I think the easiest way to deal with them woult be re-dploying McAfee Agent to them forcing instalation over existing one.
2. Re: migrating to Epo v5richiewill83 Jun 19, 2013 3:05 PM (in response to Laszlo G)
hi Laszlo thanks for the reply. I didnt use the system transfer option,instead just deployed some rougue sensors and deployed the new agent to the systems as the were picked up.
Is it possibke to still use the transfer option for the remaining systems? I don't have this second server registered in the original epo, will this be a problem?
Thanks again
3. Re: migrating to Epo v5Laszlo G Jun 20, 2013 4:58 AM (in response to richiewill83)
Yes, you will need to register the new epo server onto the old one. Then you'll have to export security keys from old epo server and import them to the new one so deployed agents can communicate with new epo server.
Once this is done you'll be able to transfer systems from the old epo server to the new one

Thanks again for your helpm excellent, I will register the servers tomorrow and report back. I have another question but maybe I should create a new thread.
5. Re: migrating to Epo v5earch Jun 24, 2013 5:29 PM (in response to richiewill83)
I have old epo 4.5.4 which I want to migrate to a epo 5. My problem is that when I try to register the new epo onto the old epo the only choice I get for epo version is 4.5. I don't know what happens of I choose 4.5 instead of correct 5.0. I don't want to damage the old installation...
Have anyone succeeded registering epo 5 in epo 4.5?
(Sorry for bumping...)
6. Re: migrating to Epo v5Laszlo G Jun 25, 2013 5:23 AM (in response to earch)
Hi earch, don't worry. Even if it displays ePO 4.5 you can register any ePO server newer or equal to 4.5
7. Re: migrating to Epo v5earch Jun 25, 2013 8:29 AM (in response to Laszlo G)
Thank you Laszlo.
I Will give it a try!
