Scenario: 1x WFE 1x APP 1x SQL Web Front End Service on WFE Project Server enabled on APP so a traditional 3tier scenario. nothing complicated When deploying new Web features to the Farm, you are unable to create a Project Site based on a custom template. Error: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The site template requires that the Feature {17843394-988a-4a4e-9d5e-8b419bdc1340} be installed in the farm or site collection Now we know this IS enabled at the SC level. Only un-installing these features enables the site provisioning to successfully complete. Redeploying and enabling these features then breaks it again Cause: Well... it turns out the features are required on the server where Project Server is enabled. as these are site features, that means you have two options 1) enable the Web Front end service on the App Server - which seems like a crazy thing to do to me 2) copy the features from /15/Template/Features from WFE to APP - again, mad mad mad. Why shoul
