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 TCP port 2382.
