Question

I have a server where I installed SQL Server 2008 and after I applied the SP1.
Now, I want also to add the Analysis Services to this instance by using the “Add or remove features…”.

My questions are:

• Is it possible to add the Analysis Services on a server with SP1 already installed?
• How can I apply the SP1 also to the new Analysis Service feature?

THANKS!

Answer 1

Yes you can add SSAS

Just re-run SP1 (although IIRC the installer is clever enough to do this anyway): you have the option to upgrade instance by instance (and SSAS is a separate instance to the DB engine)
