Cannot connect to named instances of Analysis Services after fresh installation or rename of server
Many a times when a new SQL Server 2008 R2 analysis services instance is installed or a server is renamed then following error is received while trying to connect to named instance of analysis service,
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A connection cannot be made to redirector. Ensure that ‘SQL Browser’ service is running. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)
——————————
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it ::1:2383 (System)
This is mostly because of browser service account not given appropriate privileges or permissions are not set correctly, in this scenario do following,
1. Go to Start > Computer > right click, select Manage > Server Manager > Configuration > Local Users and Groups > Groups
2. Check for SQL Server Browser Group name, for e.g. (Note down the name)
3. Now navigate to following folder,
c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared
4. Inside it there will be ASConfig folder,
5. Right click ASConfig folder > Go to Properties > Go to Security tab
6. Check if same SQL Browser Service group present or not, if present then edit the permissions and give Write permissions and If SQL browser group not present then add it and give write permissions as below,
7. Now go to “SQL Server Configuration Manager” (Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager)
8. Store SQL Server Browser Services
9. Stop SQL Server Analysis Services
10. Start SQL Server Browser Services
11. Start SQL Server Analysis Services
12. Try to connect SQL Server Analysis Services using SSMS or Powershell, etc. it should work fine!
——————–
Above solution shall work perfectly, in case it doesn’t then follow below links, they have provided few more workarounds for similar kind of issue,
For e.g. Restart Browser Service with –c switch or Connect Analysis services using port number, etc.

Above solution is working for me…!!!
Hi,
I renamed my AS instance to ‘Tabular’ from what it previously was. Before the rename, the connection was successful from the MS SQL Management Studio. Now, after the rename, I get the same error as on the first screenshot of this page. I tried your proposed solution but it still doesn’t work.
What I can see in the SQL Config Manager is that the Analysis Service is also stopped and tells that the service couldn’t respond in a timely manner when I try to ‘Start’ it.
What could be the problem now? Can I rename it to what it was earlier? (I tried leaving the name blank since it was the default name before too but it says that a server with the name MSSQLSERVER already exists).
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Thank you for your detailed solution. Just wanted to give you props for helping me out. 🙂
