APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft SQL Server OLAP Services

This article was previously published under Q287139



SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to remotely administer an OLAP database that uses the OLE DB Provider for ODBC in the datasource, from a computer that does not have the same ODBC data source name (DSN) listed in the ODBC Administrator, the following error message may appear:

Cannot connect to the 'OLAP Database' data source



CAUSE
This behavior is by design. When a DSN is referenced, it needs to be available both locally and on the server.

Additional query words: OLEDB ODBC DSN Cannot connect
