Hello James,

We've done this in the past but now call an SSIS package that controls the processing.

For the command line processing we called a .xmla file with the following syntax.

"E:\Utilities\ascmd.exe" -i "E:\XMLA Queries\Portal\Process Dims.xmla" -S "<ServerName>"

The contents of the Process Dims.xmla would be something like:

<Batch xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine">

<Parallel>

<Process xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ddl2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine/2" xmlns:ddl2_2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine/2/2">

<Object>

<DatabaseID>Adventure Works DW 2008</DatabaseID>

<DimensionID>Dim Customer</DimensionID>

</Object>

<Type>ProcessFull</Type>

</Process>

Hope this helps.
