ATI Multi Media Center
Target Account Name is incorrect
We had to reinstall our complete server. It was a bit messed up trying/setinng up account on how to make a good security setup for all our services. we had to implement a Temtec executive Viewer 6.x on our SSAS from a different machine.
Therefore we had to use Kerebos .... Our tech department dit setup a fex things to eneable Kerebos ...
We also messed up with it so we decided to deinstall and then re-install all (no repair).
Our server is working fine again, we can login mith management studio in all our services (Sql, SSAS, SSRS, SSIS).
But when trying to do connect from a remote computer, with MgtStudio to SSAS we get an error
'The target principal name is incorrect', or when we try to do tis from a Proclarity Client the error is 'The target Account name is incorrect'
We tried the normal computer name, and also its fully qualified domain name ... stil the same error.
Any ideas ??

MIIS and User Self-service
Hello all,
While in the midst of a technical design for a miis deployment I keep running into problems of finding the proper solution for user self-service functionality. We have data coming in from several sources but want to give the user the ability to update some of their attributes like a cellphone or a roomnumber, this updated information will eventually sync back into AD for instance...
I have been installing and reviewing: Nakisa, Namescape (all more for AD/AM), looking at BMC software (but this makes MIIS almost obsolete), HP Identity suites and what not, just to find the right "portal solution" for self-service.
I read here Microsoft experience with their own EasyID, but nowhere is there any download to try to built it oneself for test or get an estimate of development time etc. Any hint on this?
Another resource is Microsoft MIIS Series 1.3 which comes with rich documentation and sourcecode luckily, and I am very happy with it, alas I cannot expect the customer to budget for additional time/money to develop this, another problem is that they might need to maintain the custom solution for which they have no capabilities.
I am curious what others are doing or using for self-service functionality, developing thier own portals, buying out-of-the-box solutions, using Sharepoint maybe?
Any tips or insights are very much appreciated,
Thank you,
DannyA

You can have a web site/app that takes the user information and dumps into a text file.
Regulary you synchronize the content and you have the solution to your problem. Of course you can save the updated info in a DB and you can synchronize that as well. At this point is your choice. The text file path is the simplest one.

Besides building your own-self service portal, a quick tool I've used was Imanami's WebDir. It complements MIIS and is pretty flexible.

Thanks for the tips everyone. The Imanami Webdir product looks promising, alas it does not work against AD/AM.
Other suggestions, anyone?

Error in the metadata manager, the .. attribute returns a member from a different hierarchie
Hello,
I have created and tested a very simple role that has read permission on my cube for all dimensions.
Now, when I give this cube to the final user, he gets this error in his Excel 2003 Front-end, no matter which dimension he tries to use.
He did instal msxml6 and pts 9.
Note that the excel pivot works fine for me however I am the admin so the problem can be with the role.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Philippe

Sql2k SP4 Incomplete Client Upgrade
1. You need to copy the sqlcli.bat and sqlcli.iss from the original install directory to the SP4 directory in order for the Client installs to be upgraded to SP4. Setup.bat runs, and says
everything (MDAC only?) was installed sucessfully. None of the Client files were touched.
2. The SP4 Client upgrade does NOT update the following files:
cnfgsvr.exe
scm.exe
sqdedev.dll
sqladhlp.exe
sqlmangr.exe
sqlvdi.dll (must use regsrv32.exe to unregister old, register new dll)
Hope this is fixed/documented soon.

Alot of software does not play nice with Vista
Many software programs which I have paid for will simply not work with Vista. Vista 'blocks' them and gives me the option to 'check for a solution'. But then there is no 'solution' that can be found. Microsoft needs to work hard to improve program compatibility before releasing vista to the general public or they will receive alot of angry phone calls and emails from future customers.
Some of my applications are:
Easy Media Creator 7
Nero 6
Power DVD (OEM and version that came with my dvd writer).
Power Producer
Symantec Antivirus Corporate Version
There are a few more but I cannot remember them all at this time.
I have "paid" for these programs and they all work with XP Professional so it is frustrating. In particular I have noticed from past experience that Roxio refuses to release patches to work with new operating systems. Instead they insist on trying to sell people a 'newer' version of their software.
It is my sincere hope that someone at Microsoft will read this post and do something constructive to resolve this issue.

I can't keep my mouth shut any longer. This is not Microsoft's problem. It will be up to the software companies to make changes to their software so that they will work on Vista. The whole point of the beta test is to test the software out. Most people seem to think that this is a great way to get a free copy of the latest Windows, then they complain when things don't work their way.
If you want to help, email the companies who coded your software and have them download the vista developers kits and recode their products so that they work.

The only reason I posted this note was so that someone at Microsoft can be aware of the problem and hopefully try to address it before the final release.
I know that this is a "beta" version and as such the opportunity to address these issues can be constructive for both Microsoft and potential users when the final version is released.
It "will" be a problem for Microsoft when they start getting large amounts of support requests if these issues are not resolved. Whether or not Microsoft is responsible to make vista work with applications is completely irrelevant in this case.

Well I can see both sides of this argument... But quite frankly MS isn't the the only game in town and could lose huge market share if that's the attitude they take...
I'm into this to learn and to help and am approaching this beta like I would if I were buying it off the self... that's where we're trying to get.. right? And that's what the general public will expect!
I ordered the CD and in good faith loaded it up on my extra laptop ... a nice one... without adjusting anything previously on the box and it's been very buggy ever since... Hey it's a beta... a poor beta... but a beta none the less... I had huge issues right after the load... Vista won't only play well with others... it won't even play with MS Applications like Office 2003... I ended up removing office... and several other things... like a eBay toolbar... now it seems to be fighting with my RealTime Player...
When I can get to the web I have to do it as administrator... I keep the task manager up all of the time and I wish that when things blow up that they would just go away... but instead Vista keeps trying to solve its own issues... and then reloading the same broken process... this drives me crazy. Put an "END everything in this process Button" on the Task Manager or pop-up... so I can delete off the offending application and move on to the next issue.
Anyway.. I like the look and feel and I'll keep working with it and try to help MS make it better... I have to ask though... How much of the development of Vista was off-shored... it just seems to be so very poorly done at this point? Not trying to be mean just truthful!
Thanks

Fact/Dimension/Cube design question with Example
I am setting up an olap database as a proof of concept and need a little help on the design. What I need to do is compare portfolios to benchmarks based on market values for a number of different categories or groupings. Example:
| Portfolio1 |
|
| Industry | Rating |
| GM | 100 | 0.09 | AUTO | B- |
| F | 200 | 0.18 | AUTO | B+ |
| BMY | 300 | 0.27 | PHARMA | A+ |
| BAC | 500 | 0.45 | BANK | A+ |
|
| 1100 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Benchmark1 |
|
|
|
|
| GM | 150 | 0.13 | AUTO | B- |
| F | 210 | 0.18 | AUTO | B+ |
| BMY | 280 | 0.25 | PHARMA | A+ |
| BAC | 500 | 0.44 | BANK | A+ |
|
| 1140 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Industry Analysis | Weighting |
|
| |
| AUTO | 0.86 |
|
|
|
| BANK | 1.04 |
|
|
|
| PHARMA | 1.11 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Rating Analysis |
|
|
|
|
| A+ | 1.06 |
|
|
|
| B+ | 0.99 |
|
|
|
| B- | 0.69 |
|
|
|
I will need to allow them to create new groupings for analysis (industry, rating, possibly currency, etc). The idea I had was to calculate the weighting in the portfolios using a calculated field, is that right? Or should I do it when populating the fact table?
Also I expect the groupings to expand, do they just become additional dimension tables?
Securities may change ratings depending on the day so I have DimRating, DimSecurity, DimIndustry, does that sound right?
Thanks in advance I know this is a lot. I just want to make sure I am on the right track.

Projects in SQL Management Studio
I love the template explorer in SQL Management Studio 2005. However, why can't we save these files to a project we've started in Management Studio. I hope in the future that we will be able to change the folder names of projects in Management Studio, and that we will be able to drag template items from the template explorer to our project in the Solution Explorer window.
SQL Project team, can you please add this in the future?

Queries from Excel take too long
Hi,
I'm using Excel's pivot table to query my cube. I'm also using Profiler to take a look at the incoming queries.
- I executed a query from Excel but it "hourglassed" on me
- I copy and pasted the query from Profiler into SSMS and ran it. It ran and returned results in 250ms according to Profiler
- The query as issued from Excel eventually completed in 264000ms (i.e. Approx 1000 times as long)
Anyone seen similar behaviour? i.e. The same query taking orders of magnitude longer to execute from Excel? I'm guessing there's something wacky going on in the OLE DB Provider but I don't know what and I certainly don't know how to go about doing something about it.
Incidentally, I've pasted the MDX at the bottom of this post. Don't get me started about the MDX it produces - all I did was filter the members on axis 0!!!!
TIA
-Jamie

Linked cube
I have cube-A in server1 and cube-B in server2. I need to compare Cube-A against Cube-B. Cube-A has the same dimension names and measures as Cube-B.
This is the way I did, I created a Linked cube from server1 to Server2 and from there I created a virtual cube between Linked cube and cube B. when I processed the virtual cube the result wasnt good since in the virtual cube I could see data from only one cube.
The view is similar to this:
CubeA cubeB
Dimension Measure1 Measure2 Measure1 Measure2
1 10 10
2 15 15
3 20 20
CubeA CubeB
Dimension Measure1 Measure2 Measure1 Measure2
1 10 10
2 15 15
3 20 20
I tried creating a linked cube from cube A and cube B on a different server. Then also I got two sets of dimension in the virtual cube wizard. The problem is linked cube takes the dimensions as private after getting processed even though source cube has shared dimensions.
Is there any other way to do this? ie., I need to compare Cube-A against Cube-B. Cube-A has the same dimension and measures as Cube-B existing in different servers.

A Great Whitepaper on the new and improved Platform Networking Features in Windows Server "Longhorn"
If you haven't already checked out this whitepaper or it's been a while since you last visited the link, I suggest you give this a read:
New Networking Features in Windows Server "Longhorn" and Windows Vista
This is a living, technical whitepaper that was just recently updated to reflect the new features and functionality that was introduced in Beta 2.
Vista 5456 Download Available
FYI, Windows Vista build 5456 is available since 23 Jun 2006 for download at http://connect.microsoft.com/.
This is an interim build and has not been through a rigorous test pass. You are encouraged to move off of Beta 2, start trying build 5456 out and file bugs against this new build.
A new product activation key for this build is not required and existing beta 2 keys will work (5342 and up to activate Ultimate edition).
Some highlights:
- the popular List View is back
- the system clock will not be changed when setting the time zone
- the behavior of UAC has changed a bit e.g. deleting desktop items is much easier
- Upgrade of Beta 2 to RC1 will be a supported scenario
HTH.

If you got the beta2 only from Technet, that's mean you are not the early beta tester selected by MS. You cannot use the CONNECT website to download the interim build until MS make it to be public.

Please check the disk spacw first.
Also, please reference the following:
Things you should know before installing:
Remove Applications Before Upgrading
When upgrading Windows Vista Beta2 x64 to Windows Vista 5456 x64 you may be unable to uninstall applications after the upgrade is completed. We recommend users uninstall any applications prior to upgrade that you may need to remove after the upgrade has completed.
Potential Data Loss with Windows Mail
Existing Windows Mail settings AND Data will NOT migrate successfully from Beta 2 to 5456. Be sure to use Windows Easy Transfer to save any Windows Mail data you care about before upgrading. You will receive an error message when first booting into 5456.5 that says "Unable to upgrade your message databases." Once the upgrade completes you can restore your Windows Mail settings and data using Windows Easy Transfer.
Last Logged in User Changed on Upgrade
When upgrading from Beta 2 to 5456, the last logged in username shown at the logon screen after completing the upgrade will be Administrator. You will need to click the "Switch User" button to login as your user account.
Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender
Support for Xbox 360 as a Media Center extender is not included in this Vista build. In order to continue using the Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender with Vista, please remain on Beta 2 (build 5384). Support for the Xbox 360 as an Extender will be available in a future Vista build.
Pseudo Localized Text Present
Parts of the OS contain Pseudo-localized text, or non-english characters placed together to approximate English words. (Text that looks similar to the following: "Щĭηđбш§ Мèðìα Þĺäÿёя") This is used internally, is known and being addressed in future builds.
Username with a . generates error
On a clean install, during OOBE, if you add a username which contains a period (.) in it, you will receive an error message after hitting next that says your computer name is invalid. You will need to remove the period from the computer name to continue. This is set to be fixed in a future build.

The disk space is believe to be more than sufficient as it last free space before initializing the upgrade is 8GB++.

An internal Setup error occurred. Verify that the installation sources are accessible and restart Setup. [Error code: 0xC0000005]
Also when I attempt to boot from DVD and install none of my keys from the CONNECT site are said to be valid.
Thanks in advance, Ryan

Thanks for the quick reply, since upgrade seems to not be supported from the old Beta 2 release to the RC1 I have tried full install (boot from DVD, etc). When the software asks for my Product Key it declines all Keys that I have generated from the CONNECT site. I genarated 2 new as well and neither of these work. I have the option to generate the following (should I see a Windows Vista Beta 5456 option)?
Longhorn Beta 1 Product Keys
Longhorn 5219 and up Product Keys
Windows Vista Tech Beta 5308 and up Business
... and I have generated keys for:
Vista 5219 and up Product Keys (Ultimate)
Windows Vista Tech Beta 5308 and up Home Premium
Windows Vista Tech Beta 5308 and up Home Basic
... but none of them are working with the 5456 build.
Thanks, Ryan

The key for "5342 and Up Ultimate Keys" should work on that.

I am an MS ActionPack subscriber and yes, I have installed Vista Beta 2. I Have some problems with my Radeo 9600 Pro which should be fixed with 5456 (as I read somewhere). Is it possible for me to get the lateste build (or one that has fixed this error)?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
