If I understand your question correctly, the customization that your trying to do works on your machine, but you cannot replciate that to everyone in the enterprise. Is that correct? If not, can you clarify your question?

In relation to this blog post, because toolbars no longer exist in Project 2010, global interface customization becomes a much more involved process with the ribbon. The ribbon is defined by a set of program options and is no longer an object that can be put in the enterprise global template (EGT) like the toolbars can. Fortunately, there is a solution to achieve what you’re asking for, but again, is a little more involved. The process requires programming a macro which can then be loaded into the EGT. This macro can be programed to run upon opening of a project, thus customizing the ribbon for all users without any user input. The first step is to add the developer tab to the ribbon in Project, by going to the options, selecting “Customize Ribbon”, and then checking the developer tab in the right hand of the window. This gives you access to VBA programming editor. For the rest of the process, there is a great reference on MSDN with several examples: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee767705.aspx

The only other method that could possibly be used would be to use registry settings to define the program options for the ribbon, and then deploy a logon script via Group Policy to update the registry. However, because of the risk of editing the registry, the fact that anyone outside your network wont get those updates, and the wider array of customization options a macro gives, programming the macro is going to be a much better approach.

I know this probably isn’t the simple answer your looking for, but since Microsoft didn’t give us simple tools to do it, it’s about all we have to work with.

The same thing I’m not able to do in Proj Professional 2010. I created a new Custom Tab, Added a custom group and commands. The tab and button appear for all pwa instances in that system. It will not dsiplay in other client systems.
