Hi @anujgarg 

 

Is your SSAS On-Premise connected to an Active Directory domain?

 

In order for it to work it needs to be connected and signed into a Active Directory domain





Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

Hi @GilbertQ 

 

No it’s not connected to the Active Directory Domain. It is necessary to be connected and signed into a Active Directory domain? Is there any way to work it with AD?

Thanks,

Anuj Garg
