On Windows XP Pro, SS2K-Dev-SP4, AS-SP4 erratic behavior connecting. "Unable
to connect to the registry on the server (SERVERNAME), or you are not
a member of the OLAP Administrators group this server."
Sometimes get as far as Browse Cube Data - but it Cannot Show Data.

Rebooted. Re-applied SP4. Checked KB307365 & KB324040, and all Patches up to
date. No more MSDN or Google ideas ...

What now? I would like to finish the Tutorials and get on with some Client
Analyses.

Hi Aubrey,

Welcome to use MSDN Managed Newsgroup!

From your descriptions, I understood even you have applied the latest
service pack of SQL Server 2000, it will still report the error message

Unable to connect to the registry on the server (SERVERNAME), or you are
not a member of the OLAP Administrators group this server.

If I have misunderstood your concern, please feel free to point it out.

Based on my knowledge, please check the version of MSmdsgn80.dll (Analysis
Manager add-in) and saw it's version. If should be 8.00.760, if it turned
out to be 8.00.194 please replace this file with version 760 one.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
assistance!


Sincerely yours,

Michael Cheng

You may also be trying to run a Developer Version of Microsoft Analysis
Services on a host that does not have Visual Studio installed on it. This
seems to affect the installation.

I found that my host with Visual Studio installed, there was an additional
file in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\Bin directory
"msmdrasf.lck". When I copied this file to the same directory on the
non-working host, it solved the problem.
