    Anonymous Yes, i found a solution for our case. The fault was in our setup. With the command

Now both devices in our setup are DomainJoined with our Azure AD Domain, so the credentials are correctly transmitted and we can log on to our SSAS instance with our Azure AD Credentials.

     

    So our conclusion is that both devices have to be either AzureAdJoined or DomainJoined.

Hi  minh 

According to your image, it seems that your server name is incorrect, please make sure your server name is correct. You could refer to connecting-power-bi-to-an-azure-analysis-services-server  for details.

dax thanks for the answer, but i'm pretty sure the name is correct. The connection is working if i login with my local windows credentials on the VM. The problem only arises when I log on to the VM with the Azure AD user and want to establish a connection.
