I created a project plan using Project 2010 (not server). I had set the task schedule mode to "Auto Scheduled" and entered the necessary tasks. Since it is a single person project I also added one person to the "Resources" of the file, assigned that resource to all the tasks, and leveled the project.
After the plan was entered and tasks were leveled I figured the calendar was not correctly set (in UAE the weekend is Friday and Saturday instead of Saturday and Sunday). I updated the default calendar (Standard) of the project by going to Project > Change Working Time > Work Weeks and changed them as needed. However after doing this, the tasks are still scheduled over Friday and Saturday even though I have marked them as non-working days in the standard calendar.
I tried the following for the tasks to refresh, but was unsuccessful:
- Updated all tasks to use the "Standard" calendar in the project
- Enabled the option where tasks do not ignore resource calendars
- Added a constraint "As Soon As Possible"
- Executed "Level All"
Any ideas?

In addition to the standard calendar, there is also a resource calendar that can take precedence over the project calendar.
One caveat: scheduled hours with actuals recorded against them probably will not move.
Hope that helps!
