Good stuff as always, Grant! Thanks for taking the time to write articles like this. This one should be in every DBA's quick reference guide.
Thanks Jeff, but you & both know after you've done it once or twice, it's hard to forget. Hopefully it helps new people get a leg up a little quicker.

I stand corrected everyone. Sorry about the incorrect information. I was told in a class that it had to be cleaned up, and never really tested it. It's great to know that it will auto cleanup.
Thanks to the peoples that did the testing!

great article, thanks.
what tweaks to this process are required to run a server-side trace on analysis services? when i export my Script Trace Definition, the 'For SQL...' options are greyed out. i am only able to export 'For Analysis Services...' which produces an xmla file.
what do i do with that xmla file to schedule the trace?
my task at hand is that i have to create an audit of access to a cube. any thoughts on whether this is a sufficiently robust mechanism to do this? if not, can anyone suggest alternatives?
thanks
rob

Hello,
Thanks for a great article.
I have a very intermittent problem, occurs only two or three times a month. Would there be any issues with running a server side trace all day, other than creating a lot of .trc files? I'm especially concerned about an all-day trace using too many resources and affecting server performance.

I am frankly unsure. I've never run a trace on SSAS, so I don't know exacty how it works.
