We're encountering the TFS warehouse cube problems described in "Warehouse Cube Won't Process" thread on this forum. There are a few other similar thread on this forum, too.

We don't encounter the problem until we create a new team project. The problem is that the students in our class do this in one of the early exercises, which means we lose 15-30 minutes getting the students to apply the fix described in that thread. That's a lot of time to lose in class--especially a VSTS class.

Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening? Is there something we can do on our virtual PC image before starting the class? It has a fresh installation of VSTS-TFS.

Thanks!

Hi Seth,

Could you be more specific on the errors you are seeing? Once the fix is applied, is the issue fixed? When you are saying that the VPC has a fresh install of TFS: the TFS system does not contain any projects or data at all, correct?

Thanks,
Othmane

Hi Othmane,

The errors are the ones described in the linked post. Once we apply the fix, yes, the issue is resolved. Luckily it hasn't been showing up that often in the past few classes we've taught. I'm hoping the TFS development has an idea what causes this and will have it fixed in the next release.

Thanks,

This might be due to a SQL configuration where SQL Analysis Services does not know where msmdvbanet.dll is, check out this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=677850&SiteID=1
