Analysis Services on Separate Server

[David Blair]

Hi,
I am in a 2007 environment where the Analysis Services servers are separate
from the SQL servers (both 2008). All is well when configuring for OLAP but
the Analysis servers use a named instance because other users are using the
servers for other things. So, my 'Server Name' when in PWA and configuring
for OLAP building is" <analysis server name>\<instance name>. The problem
is, PWA doesn't allow the backslash key to specify the instance name for a
given server. Any clue how to provide an instance name? Thanks!
