Project Server to Sharepoint Email sync program

Today I got a support case where alerts in SharePoint was not triggered, I quickly realized the problem was that the email address on the users was wrong in SharePoint and the admins only updated the emails in Project Server. Why the emails were not correct i do not know and did not look further into it.
To solve the difference between SharePoint and Project Server I created this small C# script/program which synchronize user emails from Project Server into SharePoint.
You will typically need a tool like this when you are creating your users manually in Project Server and the emails are synchronized from a inconsistent Active Directory.

The program can be found here:
Project Server -> SharePoint Emails sync
The code for the program/script is as follows:
 static void Main(string[] args)  
 {  
   string pwa = "";  
   string webApp = "";  
   if (args.Length <= 0)  
   {  
     WriteLine("WRONG ARGS, PWA");  
     return;  
   }  
   pwa = args[0];  
   PS.Resource r = new PS.Resource();  
   r.Url = pwa + "/_vti_bin/psi/resource.asmx";  
   r.UseDefaultCredentials = true;  
   PS.ResourceDataSet resDS = r.ReadResources("", false);  
   Dictionary<string, string> resourcesEmail = new Dictionary<string, string>();  
   foreach (PS.ResourceDataSet.ResourcesRow resrow in resDS.Resources)  
   {  
     try  
     {  
       if (!resrow.IsWRES_EMAILNull())  
       {  
         resourcesEmail.Add(resrow.WRES_ACCOUNT, resrow.WRES_EMAIL);  
         WriteLine("Adding account: " + resrow.WRES_ACCOUNT + " - Email: " + resrow.WRES_EMAIL + "(Name: " + resrow.RES_NAME + ")");  
       }  
       else  
       {  
         WriteLine("Account email is null: (Name: " + resrow.RES_NAME + ")");  
       }  
     }  
     catch (Exception ex)  
     { }  
   }  
   using (SPSite siteCol = new SPSite(pwa))  
     {  
       using (SPWeb web = siteCol.OpenWeb())  
       {  
         foreach (SPUser user in web.SiteUsers)  
         {  
           try  
           {  
             WriteLine("Processing User: " + user.LoginName + " - " + user.Email);  
             if (resourcesEmail.ContainsKey(user.LoginName))  
             {  
               string email = resourcesEmail[user.LoginName];  
               if (email != user.Email)  
               {  
                 string oldemail = user.Email;  
                 user.Email = email;  
                 user.Update();  
                 WriteLine("Updating email for: " + user.Name + " (old: " + oldemail + ", new: " + email + ")");  
               }  
             } else  
             {  
               WriteLine("Account not found: " + user.LoginName);  
             }  
           }   
           catch (Exception ex)  
           {  
             WriteLine("Could not update: " + user.LoginName + ". Error: " + ex.Message + " at " + ex.StackTrace);  
           }  
         }  
       }  
     }  
 }

Project Server - Change field name on PDP for standard fields (like the Owner field)

Project Server - Change owner field name on PDP The field names on the PDPs (Project Detail Pages) has been preselected on the standard fields for a project. If you want to change the Owner to something else it is quite difficult. In the following i will explain how we can change this field through the Content Editor webpart. To change the owner field add a Content Editor webpart to the PDP page where the field is inserted. Select the webpart and from the ribbon select HTML->Edit HTML Source. Copy/Paste the following code into the Content Editor webpart. < script type ="text/javascript">     var old_name = "Owner" ;     var new_name = "Ansvarlig" ;     var ttnA = document.getElementsByTagName( "div" );     for ( var j = 0; j < ttnA.length; j++) {         var orig = ttnA[j].innerHTML;         var stripped = orig.replace( /^\s*/ , "" ).replace( /\s*$/ , &quo

PowerShell results size unlimited/truncated - $FormatEnumerationLimit/Width

Ever experienced the problem where you run a Powershell command and you cannot see the whole result because the result is truncated. Problem: If you for example run the Test-SPsite command you might see something like the following: Site : SPSite Url=http://atlas/pwa Results : { SPSiteHealthResult Status=Passed RuleName="Conflicting Content Types" RuleId=befe203b-a8c0-48c2-b5f0-27c10f9e1622, SPSiteHealthResult Status=FailedWarning RuleName="Customized Files" RuleId=cd839b0d-9707-4950-8fac-f306cb920f6c, SPSiteHealthResult Status=Passed RuleName="Missing Galleries" RuleId=ee967197-ccbe-4c00-88e4-e6fab81145e1, SPSiteHealthResult Status=Passed RuleName="Missing Parent Content Types" RuleId=a9a6769f-7289-4b9f-ae7f-5db4b997d284, SPSiteHealthResult Status=FailedError RuleName="Missing Site Templates" RuleId=5258ccf5-e7d6-4df7-b8ae-12fcc0513ebd,
