No mapping between account names and security IDs was done

Hi
I haven't done much with AS2005. Today I was trying to migrate an AS2000 cube to As2005 using Migration Wizard.

Existing AS2000 cube is on Windows 2000 Server (SP4). Destination server has Windows 2003 Server with June CTP.

Migration Wizard goes through the validating databases. During metadata migration I get the following error "The following system error occurred: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done."

I am running the OLAP Service on Win 2000 and 2003 Server under LocalSystem (might not be the best option).

Has anyone come across this before or know how to resolve it?

Thanks

SuthaAs Chris W suggested, I made a copy of the AS2K cube and removed the roles from the cube and then ran the migration wizard. The meta data migration was successful.

Thanks Chris

Hi Folks,

i've had the same message in SSAS 2005 whilst trying to add a domain local group to the "Server Role".

e.g. Right click the server, select "Properties" and then select "Security".

Is it possible to add a windows group here or is it just restricted to users? The wording is "The server role is used to grant server-wide security privilages to a user".

If this is restricted to just user accounts, then how could i add a windows group (a group of users that are administrators) to a similar role?

Cheers,

Kyle.

Hi,

PLEASE NOTE: My post above is now out of date! I tried adding the groups again and it worked fine.

In my place it can take up to 15 minutes for replication to occur on the domain so it looks like the account i created wasn't immediately visible!

Watch out for this one if you use domain replication on you domain servers!

Cheers,

Kyle.
