Error 28704.Unable to connect to the Analysis server.
I just can't figure this one out - two tier installation where I have followed the setup manual to the letter (i think). Analysis service is in fact running, I can even connect to it from a mgmt studio installed on the application tier.
I tried watching the network traffic to see where it might be getting confused, but the servers were talking via soap, and then encrytped the conversation so I couldn't diagnose anything in particular.
I would guess this is a permissions issue, but I am installing as TFSSetup, and this user is admin on both boxes + sa on sql server.
Any guesses?
EDIT: after reinstalling everything I still get the error, but now have a more detailed error in the app log:

So, clearly a permissions issue as I expected. I guess this is due to some issue with the user on the domain? I guess I can start looking there...

During the setup process we also give permissions to the TFSService account to do 'stuff' in the DB. Just so you know.
I'm assigning this to one of the folks that handles the Warehouse pieces.
In the meantime, try stopping and restarting Analysis Services. We've seen issues where the service is running BUT it really isn't responding to API requests.

I got around this by installing SQL Enterprise rather than Standard - but now I have other problems :{
I have also encountered this error while trying to install the TFS Beta 3 Refresh. This is a single server installation. TFS Beta 3 was running without any problems, and I followed the Beta 3 Refresh upgrade instructions carefully. Unfortunately, after the 28704 error appears and the TFS installation fails, all of the TFS databases are blown away! I have to restore TfsBuild, TfsIntegration, TfsVersionControl, etc. from backups.
I have attempted the upgrade 3 times, and the 28704 error appears every time. I have tried uninstalling SQL 2005, STS, .NET Framework, etc. and starting from "scratch" (using the restored TFS databases) without success. The Analysis Server service is running. Restarting the service does not help.
Any help would be appreciated.

After another uninstall and restarting the process with SQL 2005
Developer Edition, the upgrade succeeded! I had been installing SQL 2005 Standard, as per the installation guide.
Alright -- I figured this one out. To fix the "No mapping between account names and security IDs", connect to Analysis Server using SQL Studio. Once in, goto the properties of the Analysis Server and goto the security section. You should see a bare SID in the NT User and Group list. Remove this and you won't have this problem anymore.
...UNFORTUNATELY, however, I now have the infamous "Error loading event web service"! Gahhh!

Yes, I went through the same exact thing. Installed SQL Server Standard per instructions, then it wouldn't work. Went back to my snapshot and installed SQL Server developer and install worked fine.
HEY MICROSOFT - you listening? Can someone please update the instructions so more poor souls don't waste hours of time?
The "No mapping between account names and security IDs" should not have anything to do with STD vs ENT vs DEV. When I hit it, I restarted Analysis Services. We had logged a bug for SQL which couldn't be reproed. The previous post mentioning the bare SID is interesting ...
I had the error 28704 problem, then removed the bare SID in the user group list, and this worked great for me. Everything installed fine after doing this.
If you are installing onto SQL Server Standard Edition then you will get this error due to the fact that nothing cleans up the old Analysis Server's TFSWarehouse database. You can't do it inside any of the GUI managers because the Analysis Services service will not start up correctly (nice one!). BUT THERE IS A WORK-AROUND.
When this error appears on-screen do this;
- Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services.
- Stop the SQL Server Analysis Services service.
- Navigate in Explorer to the database directory where the Analysis Services databases are stored (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\Data).
- Delete the file TFSWarehouse.0.db.xml and the directory TFSWarehouse.0.db
- Start the SQL Server Analysis Services service.
- See if you can now connect to the Analysis Services in SQL Server Management Studio (Object Explorer/Connect/Analysis Services/your server name). Typically there will be no Databases listed at this point.
- Click the Retry button on the setup screen.
This essentially eliminated the database that Team Foundation Server is going to setup anyway... so it should work fine.
I had the same problem, and removing the bare SID also worked for me. Thanks for the information.
Help! Help! I have been trying everything to startup the Analysis Server and keeo getting the following error:

Can anyone help me, Please!!! Microsoft, why is this so difficult. I tried re-installing 3 times (many, many hours) and still the same problem. Please help!!!
Thanks.
Hi all,
I have the same problem. i don't know what is the "bare SID". can you tell me how I remove the bare SID. Thanks !
Hi Folks:
Well after several times trying, I think I found the major culprit. For me it turned out to be my Anti-virsus software (Norton). I suggest turning off your ant-virsus and then try to start up Analysis Services. I put this to the test. When my anti-virus software is enabled, Analysis Services will not start, but when I disable it - Wham it starts right up. If this doesn't work for you, I suggest checking your fire-wall. If on, disable it and try again.
Good luck.
Run SqlServer Management Studio and choose Analysis Service from server type combo (login form). After login, right click on analysis server/properties/security. You should see strange (GUID like) user name - that is "bare SID" user name. Remove it and thats all...
