Project Web Access with Internet Explorer 7.0

The latest version of Microsoft's web browser has been released a few weeks ago. Unlike the previous Beta versions, the final products works just fine with Project Web Access 2003.

The out-of-the-box configuration of IE 7.0 should run smoothly with your existing Project Server configuration. Users will not have to re-install the ActiveX controls again, removing a large potential obstacle for companywide deployment. However, depending on your company's policies and your current Project Server 2003 architecture, ensure that the 'Access data sources across domains' option is enabled in order to continue using the Portfolio Analyzer feature (OLAP cubes).

If you do not want to update to IE 7.0 make sure that your company has disabled the automatic Windows Update feature for your workstations and laptops.
