PRJ2000: How to Obtain and Install Microsoft Project Central Server RDCSite Utility (272084)

SUMMARY

RDCSite is a command-prompt utility that creates, resets, and deletes Microsoft Project Central sites on a Microsoft Project Central Web server. You can run RDCSite after you set up Microsoft Project Central. You can use RDCSite to do the following:

Create multiple Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) virtual directories for Microsoft Project Central that have the proper permissions, and create registry keys with the specified database connection information. This process allows users to set up their Microsoft Project Central server to connect to multiple databases.
Reset an existing Internet Information Server (IIS) virtual directory to the authentication permissions that it was originally installed with. Resetting does not affect settings at any level other than the Microsoft Project Central virtual directory (the Default Web Site is untouched).
Delete an existing IIS virtual directory for Microsoft Project Central and its associated registry keys, if they exist.

The Microsoft Project Central RDCSite utility is available for download from the Microsoft Project 2000 Resource Kit Toolbox. To download the file, click the following link:

To install the RDCSite utility, follow these steps:

Download RDC.exe to your Windows desktop (or another location of your choice).
Right-click the downloaded file, and then click Open on the shortcut menu.
In the RDCSite Utility for Microsoft Project Central dialog box, click Yes to start Setup.
Read the End-User License Agreement, and then click Yes to accept the agreement and continue with Setup.

NOTE: If you click No, Setup quits and RDCSite is not installed.
Under Choose a location to install the RDCSite Utility for Microsoft Project Central, click OK to install the RDCSite Utility to the default location (C:\Program Files\PRKTools\RDCSite). You can also type an alternate path, or click Browse to select a different location.

NOTE: If you accept the default location and it does not already exist, or if you type a path to a folder that does not exist, you are prompted whether to create the folder. If you click Yes, Setup continues. If you click No, Setup returns to the dialog box, so that you can select another location.

Because you run the RDCSite utility from the command prompt, Microsoft Windows does not add a shortcut to the Programs menu.
