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

However, when I tried to connect to the 2005 instance in SSMS, the error message showed what port it was trying to hit. Since the firewall is enabled by default on Win2008 I had to create an exception for this port and all was well at this point. NOTE: In my case I hit 2 errors (one after another) in SSMS but in each case the error message showed the port # it was trying to use. Once I created rules for both of these ports connectivity was working from my laptop to the remote instance.
netstat -n -b
Look for the Analysis Services process (msmdsrv.exe). It should list the IP address and listening port details.
