SQL Server 2008 db instance is installed on a win 2003 server, networked (but no domain) VM. I can browse a cube from BIDS on the same VM, but when I try to browse the same cube on a windows 7 (home premium) networked machine, I get a connection error. The error suggests checking the datasource settings which I have, and when I click "test connection" on the datasource it is successful. Looking for probably causes and solutions?

The datasource may be using SQL authentication to connect to the underlying data in the DSV, whereas when browsing a cube you will be using Windows authentication. The difference there could explain it. The Windows account on your Win7 box, try creating a same name/password user on the SSAS box, then set that new account to have access to the cube, then try browsing again from your Win7 box. If they're not on a domain, this is how you generally need to 'trick' it. |
