SYMPTOMS
Resources receive e-mail notifications about the tasks that are assigned to them, even though the resources are proposed resources. This issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
 * You create a new project in Microsoft Office Project Server 2003.
 * You assign tasks to the proposed resources.



How to obtain the hotfix
This issue is fixed in the Project Server 2003 Hotfix Package that was released August 18, 2004. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

838882 Description of the Project Server 2003 post-Service Pack 1 hotfix package: August 18, 2004

Note After you install the hotfix, e-mail notifications are suppressed if the following conditions are true:
 * A resource has its booking type set to Proposed.
 * An assignment is published.

However, if the booking type is later changed from Proposed to Committed, and if everything is republished by using the Publish All command, e-mail notifications are sent to the resource.

To generate an e-mail notification to the resource, you must select Republish Assignments and then verify that the Notify all affected resources via e-mail check box is selected.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
