Don't confuse clustering (WSFC or FCI, depending on Windows version) with Availability Groups. They're separate.

I'm not an SSAS expert, but there isn't a database per se, correct? Isn't there a...

I think you can do this. It appears the WSFC will work with SSAS, which I think means NLB isn't needed. The resource should appear as a clustered item with...

Yes, I have built 3 new databases in the past 2 years that are running in production environments with 3rd party applications and Reporting Services attached.

Argg, old eyes. I couldn't see that.

Updated. I'll award back points.

Well, my desktop needs help. If I don't make it back online, I'm likely cursing and sweating over electronics. Gonna replace MB/CPU tonight and cross my fingers.

It used to alarm...

Haven't heard this, but I agree with Perry. What's the issue?
