• Also, find out if you are going to be expected to administer the instance as well. All too often I see other folks get thrown into the fire. Nevertheless, I would think about doing some other things other than what is posted:

    1. Learn the basics of both modes of SSAS - Multidimensional and Tabular.

    2. Get familiar with how SSIS and SSAS interact in both standard and enterprise versions.

    3. Practice, Practice, Practice MDX. Then PRACTICE AGAIN!

    4. Read the Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Performance and Operations Guide for both the Multidimensional Model and the Tabular model (if you are supporting the tabular model).

    These guides may seem to have more advanced topics in them, but it is great at connecting the dots.
