SYMPTOMS
When you process a cube in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, processing is never completed and cannot be stopped. Additionally, when you run a query in SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, the query is never completed and cannot be stopped.
This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
- The cube contains several partitions. Alternatively, the query references a cube that contains several partitions.
- The cube contains a measure group that has at least a distinct count measure. Alternatively, the query references such a measure group.
- The distinct count measure is not used in the partition key.

Restart information
You do not have to restart the computer after you apply this hotfix. However, this hotfix stops and then restarts the Analysis Services service. If you have configured the server for HTTP access, you must stop Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). After you apply the hotfix, restart IIS. If you installed Analysis Services as a named instance, you must stop the SQL Server Browser service. You must stop the SQL Server Browser service because the Msmdredir.dll component of the SQL Server Browser service is updated when you apply the hotfix.

This hotfix does not replace any other hotfixes.
Registry information
You do not have to change the registry.
