How to Delete a Project Workspace Site Template from Project Server 2007

As mentioned in my previous post, "Illustrated Guide to Updating the Project Server 2007 Workspace Template" (http://www.projectserverhelp.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=21), you may choose to tweak the site template that is used to generate new Project Workspaces based on your business process needs (implementing new functionality, changing existing functionality, etc.), then register that new template for use with Project Server 2007. Over time, however, you may need to update the site template numerous times, and each time you update the Project Workspace site template and register it with Project Server, it appears in the list of available templates on the PWA Project Workspace Provisioning Settings page:

 

To clean the old, washed-up site templates out of the list, perform the following steps:

NOTE: You will need to log directly on to the Project Server to perform these steps (i.e. with Remote Desktop Connection software).

 

1. Log directly on to the Project Server machine and open a command prompt window:

Start > Run > cmd > OK

 

2. From the command prompt, navigate to the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN" directory:

 

3. From the command prompt, execute the following STSADM command, replacing the title of the template (shown here as "Custom Project Workspace 01") with the title of your template to be deleted:

stsadm -o deletetemplate -t "Custom Project Workspace 01"

 

The following message should be displayed:

Operation completed successfully.

IIS must be restarted before this change will take effect. To restart IIS, open a command prompt window and type iisreset.

 

4. Repeat the STSADM deletetemplate command for each Project Workspace template that you would like to remove from the system, then execute an iisreset from the command prompt.

iisreset

 

The following message should be displayed:

Attempting to stop...

Internet services successfully stopped

Attempting to start...

Internet services successfully restarted

 

If you return to the PWA Project Workspace Provisioning Settings page (PWA > Server Settings > Project Workspace Provisioning Settings) and pull open the Default Project Workspace Template drop-down list, you should no longer see the templates that you removed using the STSADM command:

 

Good luck!
