I've recently been getting long delays when connecting to analysis services 2008 via SSMS, some times up to 5 minutes. SSMS hangs while waiting to connect, and some users are getting delays when connecting via Excel or ProClarity. I've done a bit of investigation and found a tip to clear the Windows event logs which I've tried. This temporarily fixed the issue on my development server, but not on my live server.
When connecting to the DB engine instance on the same servers it connects instantly and CPU and RAM usage look fairly low. Grateful if anyone can please give me some tips on how to troubleshoot further! Some other environment information:
- Development server: Win Server 2003 SP2, 3GB RAM, 2 x virtual CPU (due for replacement soon!)
- Live server: Win Server 2008R2 16GB Ram, 4 x virtual CPU Sql Server 2008 R2
- 11 AS databases on both servers
