SYMPTOMS
When you specify a SQL Server name that has a hyphen in it, the following error is returned in the Microsoft Site Server Analysis database setup for SQL Server:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Site Server version 3.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Microsoft Site Server version 3.0.
