Home Forums Data Warehousing Analysis Services Login failed for user 'NT Service\MSSQLServerOLAPService' 28000 RE: Login failed for user 'NT Service\MSSQLServerOLAPService' 28000

  • SOLUTION FOUND

    I found the answer here on the MS SQL Server Forum for Analysis Services:

    Solution for: OLE DB or ODBC error:Login failed for user NT Service\MSSQLServerOLAPService error - create new login in the SQL Server database engine so analysis services can read the data in the database being analyzed.

    Create login and grant access:

    Open up SQL Server Management Studio [login to the database engine]>

    Security >

    Login (Right? click) >

    New Login >add user: "NT Service\MSSQLServerOLAPService">

    select the database being analyzed in the drop-down list at the bottom >

    User Mapping [click on the database in the list] >

    In the window database role membership click on db_datareader [this grants access to read the data]

    Hope this helps!
