Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services fixes as one file that you can download. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services fix release.



SYMPTOMS
The original released version of SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services does not include a way to include or exclude members of the computer Administrators group from the OLAP Administrators group. By default, the OLAP Administrators local Microsoft Windows security group controls Analysis Services administrative rights, and the OLAP Administrators group also includes the members of the Administrators group for the computer where Analysis Services is installed. However, starting with SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services build 8.00.909, you can use a new registry entry that is named  to change this behavior.
