Thanks for providing some examples of things that didn't work and why, particularly the part about issues when you went from your local server to a production server. I wish I had a dollar for every time something worked great locally and then fell apart in production. I have spent countless hours trying to chase these down only to find out that I just needed to check the right box. Your explanation will save a lot of people like me many hours of research.

I also liked how you worked in some excellent points with regard to the proper way to use a table variable versus a temp table versus a "real" table.

Great article.

"Beliefs" get in the way of learning.

After more research I am editing my post

This is actually looking to be more like a double hop authentication issue than anykind of 64bit incompatiability.

This example is great one and solves several challenges that I am facing.

I am having one technical problem when implementing the Linked Server. It appears that there is a problem with the 64-bit version of the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 9.0 provider when you attempt to query the linked server from a 32 bit instance like a client machine. I can successfully run queries from a 64bit machine but a 32 bit results in an error.

Has anyone experienced this similar behavior and hopefully found a solution?

Hi Ben,

how did you configure the Security tab of the Linked Server Properties?

I attached a screen shot where I erased the login names.
In the red area you can assign a remote user (that is the user who logs on to Analysis Services) to a local user (the login used for the SQL Server database).

In the blue area you can use a standard login for SSAS. I would only use this for testing purposes because that would mean that everybody, who can connect to SQL Server database, can connect to SSAS as well.

In both cases you have to specify the Windows account (as Domain\Username), which should log on to SSAS, in the remote user/login-field.

For your problem, I would try the "blue" thing. If you can connect to SSAS, you know your problem is security-related.

I hope this was of any help.

Take care,
Martin

I had it configured with the radio button set to "Be made using the login's current security context" but after setting it to "Be made using this security context" the connection succeeded. After digging into the issue it looks like I have underlying configuration problems with Kerberos and SPN's that I need to work on.

Thanks
