Q: What TCP port Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services 2005 uses?

A: Default instance of Analysis Services uses TCP port 2383. Named SSAS instances use dynamic ports. You can specify port that you want SSAS to listen in Analysis Services property "Port". If property "Port" is not specified (0), then port is picked dynamically. You can check dynamically assigned port in msmdredir.ini file located in %Program files%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\ASConfig. Find <Instances> tag and <Port> tag for instance you are interested in. Example

<Instances>
 <Instance>
  <Name>TestInstance1</Name>
  <Port>12345</Port>
 </Instance>
</Instances>

If you are using SQL Browser service, it uses port 2382.

To check SSAS port number for SQL Server 2005. You can go to management studio and connect to the SSAS instance, then right click the server and click the properties. On the second line from the bottom you will find the port number there.
