When you process a cube or dimension it is not your interactive account; or
the application running DSO which does the actual processing. It is the
msmdsrv service process. If you have configured the data source to use
trusted connections, then the msmdsrv service's NT credentials are used --
whatever is set for the "MSSQLServerOLAPService" service in the Services
applet on the Control Panel. You need to either change it to use a domain
account which can access your data; or you need to switch to using standard
security. Those are your only two options.

> Hi micheal,
>                iam also having the same issue with analysis service
running on machine A and sql server on machine B. In my case i am using my
Own cubeprocess exe program to process the cube. Iam using DSO to do that.
This runs under a separate windows service process. I dont want to make
Analysis service run in a domain account. My service runs in a domain
account and has the necessary permission to access the database. Since iam
processing the cube using my program, is there any way to force the analysis
service using DSO to make it use my service NT credentials instead of using
its default credentials? Iam using SQL 2k analysis service with service pack
