Hi,
I need to change the SSAS data / log / temp and backup directories to a new folder.
Currently these folders are the ones provided during the installation:
D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.INSTANCENAME
Due to naming conventions I want to change it to:
D:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.INSTANCENAME
The SSAS Service is running under the virtual account that was also created during the installation:
NT Service\MSOLAP$INSTANCENAME
When I try to change all folders in the server properties, copy the old folder to the new location and restart the service, everything seems to be fine. The service starts and I can connect t o the server.
But when I want deploy a project to the server, the deployment fails and the whole instance SSAS service crashes.
In the Windows Event Log I can see that access to the new location is denied.
I have no idea how to grant all permissions to this virtual account.
If you change the service account Microsoft recommends to do this only via the SQL Server configuration, as all required permissions are granted. But I can not change the folders like this.
Do you have any Idea how I can guarantee that all required permissions are set to the new data directory location?
Thanks in advance!
Stefan
