    Hi everyone!

    I badly need your help, please. I have an SQL Server 2014 professional and Visual Studio 2012 installed. When I'm trying to process a cube it's an error "The following system error occurred: The name provided is not a properly formed account name. ". In Data Source Designer I am using "Windows username and password".

    Can someone help me with that please?

    Thanks in advance

    I don't know if it's the same problem but my Dev server did the same thing the other day. I could not determine the root cause either in SQL Server or in Windows and nothing seemed incorrect anywhere in the server. I even tried to bounce the SQL Services and it wouldn't let me due to the same error. I ended up having reboot the whole server and that "fixed" it. I've never seen this happen before and am concerned that Windows updates may be a part of the problem (serious gut feeling rather than anything intelligent).

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
