I can't connect to AS2005 on a remote server using the sample.net
application from the xmla 1.1 sdk.

On remote server (ASServer05):

I installed AS2005.
I installed XMLA from the XMLA 1.1 SDK
I created XMLA virtual directory in IIS

On local client:

I run sample.net
I enter: http://ASServer05/xmla/msxisapi.dll as url
I click update
I get following error: The request failed with http status 405. Method not
allowed

any help much appreciated

You should not be using the XMLA SDK for an AS 2005 server. Instead
configure HTTP access using this whitepaper for Windows 2003:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro.../httpasws.mspx
or for Windows XP:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro.../httpssas.mspx

The XMLA SDK sample application may not work against AS 2005 without a minor
modification (I think the sample doesn't accept the empty DataSourceInfo
returned by AS 2005 but it should be easy to fix that in the sample code).
