Will the Power BI Analysis Services Connector work if AD and AAD UPN suffixes don't match?

We are using Azure Active Directory, AD FS, and DirSync with
Alternate Login IDs, which means that our on-prem usernames have a different UPN suffix from our AAD usernames.
Will the Power BI Analysis Services Connector work in this setup? Or do the AD and AAD UPN suffixes absolutely have to match?

Hey Adam,
From SSAS, we simply query AD by passing the UPN we receive from AAD. As long as AD can find a match, it'll work.
So if there is a way in AD to map a particular UPN to another value, it'll work.
For example: For a user A, her on premises UPN is
'[email protected]' but she uses '[email protected]' as her email address. From AAD we'll receive
'[email protected]' & since AD knows that this is same as
'[email protected]' effective user name will work.
Hope this clarifies! let me know if you have more questions.

Power BI analysis services connector - the remote server returned an error (403)

Hi all, does any one have any suggestions what to try to identify the configuration problem I have?
I have, a SSAS 2012 tabular instance with SP2, there is a database on the instance with a read role with everyone assigned permissions.
When configuring the Power BI analysis services connector, at the point where you enter Friendly Name, Description and Friendly error message, when you click next I receive the error "The remote server returned an error (403)."
I've tested connecting to the database from Excel on a desktop and connect fine.
I don't use a "onmicrosoft" account so don't have that problem to deal with.
We use Power BI Pro with our Office 365. As far as I can tell that part is working ok as I pass that stage of the configuration with a message saying connected to Power BI.
The connector is installed on the same server as tabular services, its a Win2012 Standard server. The tabular instance is running a domain account that is the admin account for the instance (this is a dev environment) that account is what I've used in the
connector configuration. It's also a local admin account. There is no gateway installed on the server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Brian

Brian-
One other common issue I've seen is the UPN not quite matching. Log onto the SSAS server as the user who's logged into Power BI. Then open a command prompt and run:
whoami /upn
Hopefully the UPN it says will match your EffectiveUserName test and will match exactly how you're signing into the Power BI site.
If that doesn't work, your best bet is to go to
http://support.powerbi.com/ and click Contact Support and describe this situation and someone from the Power BI support team should get in touch with you to troubleshoot.

Connection issue for Power BI Analysis Services Connector

Hi,
I have a problem with the connection to power bi.
the analysis services connector was installed correctly and I see in my account of power bi the tabular server, but, when wanting to deploy
database it marks me the following error: IMDExternalConnection
the user that I set as administrator has permissions on the server tabular connector.
An example :
register my account with this email from my work : [email protected], and the domain user is [email protected]
could you guide me to know why this mistake is happening?
what credentials does power bi use to access my tabular server ?
Greetings!

Hi,
Can you please share a screenshot of the error message? Is it during the installation/configuration of the connector?
If yes, I suspect it is due to invalid credentials. You need to use your windows account of the Analysis Services server admin.
If the error is during connecting to AS server from Power BI, most likely it is due to a effective user name mismatch. The 6th FAQ listed in this blog post talks about the IMDExternal connection error -

What's my password....Power BI Analysis Services Connector Deep Dive

Here are three screen shots:
SSMS:
PowerBI connected:
What's my password?

Hi Greg,
According to your description, you want to know the what you need to put when logging on to SSAS. Right?
In Analysis Services, Analysis Services provides a role-based authorization model that grants access to operations, objects, and data. All users who access an Analysis Services instance or database must do so within the context of a role. And the membership
of roles should be assigned to windows use (windows authentication).
In this scenario, you need to put in the windows user password. It's not supported to connect via SSAS without password.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

I have a problem with the configuration of PowerBI Analysis Services Connector. I fill all fileds but i have an error in the last step.
Error description: "The remote server forward an error: Forbidden (403)"
I don't understand this error because:
- SSAS acces are granted for my domain\user
- Office 365 account is the same user
- SSAS tabular model is granted for this same domain\user
Who can help me ?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
The error I got in the OC4J window is : WARNING java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
However, I have now been able to login to BI Publisher as Administrator. What I did was uninstall the full OBIEE (Basic) installation, and instead installed the BI Publisher component only, (along with OC4J).
Works fine now, although I don't know why it didn't work with the full install. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Stephen

Will the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SC work on my h8-1360t with Formosa motherboard?

perhaps a silly question but will the EVGA GeForce GTX 76 SC work on a FORMOSA motherboard?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sticknrudder, welcome to the forum.
Not a silly question at all. It is difficult to know which video cards work in which computers these days. I had to do a lot of research, including phone calls to EVGA and XFX'es Tech Support.
In this instance, the video card will not work in your computer. All of the EVGA video cards from the GT 640 to present require a full UEFI BIOS in the motherboard. HP didn't begin using a full UEFI BIOS until mid-October, 2012. Your computer was released in July, 2011.
Also, most of the newer cards will require a power supply unit (PSU) upgrade. Unless, that is, you chose the 460W or 600W PSU when you bought the computer. Even the 460W may not have enough wattage for some of the cards.
MSI makes a video card with a hybrid VBIOS that has a switch to choose a Legacy or UEFI BIOS. There is a video in the link that I provided just below the picture of the card. Paul from Newegg does a good job of explining the card. I suggest contacting their Tech Support to assure that it will work in your computer. It is 9.84" in length. I suggest making a template the size of the card to assure that it will fit into the space provided if they say that it will work.

The Power Supply Fan is still working, but does not appear to respond to increased loads, and its speed cannot be increased using SMCFanControl. Any suggestions?

Hi all - My mac pro 1,1 has an enigmatic problem. It's quad-core, 3Ghz, running OS X 10.7.5. The problem began some months back, when running HD video conferences, HD streaming videos and some other graphics-moderate (I won't say intense) uses, such as slide shows in Just Looking. My machine has an ATY, RadeonX1900 card and 2 monitors - both Apple displays, one being 30 inch 2560x1600, the other being 24 inch 1920x1200.
When I start those types of graphics-moderate apps, after about 5 minutes, something would crash (the monitors making a noise as it did) and the displays would both go black. The power did not appear to be fully cut off from the monitors. I think that the underlying applications, however, did not crash. So, I could still hear and speak to people during video conferences, and I could hear the sound tracks of videos.
Attempts to restart the computer and get the monitors back did not immediately work to undo the problem, if done straight away. The only way to correct the problem (so as to have the monitors work) was to wait for a few minutes and then restart.
After a lot of puzzled looking at console logs (and I confess that I am not an expert), I ran into a blank.
But, because of the timing of the crashes (after ~5minutes use) and restarts (after some minutes wait), I reasoned that the problem might be temperature related.
Once on that path of thought, I found this article:
http://worldtv.com/blog/guides_tutorials/fixing_an_overheating_mac_pro_no_expens e_required.php
I installed both Temperature Monitor and SMCFanControl. And I experimented, and got interesting results:
Now to the puzzling bit: SMCFanControl shows that the speed of the Power Supply Fan doesn't vary much, even if I use SMCFanControl to ramp fan speeds right up. All of the other fans react to SMCFanControl, going up to and above 2500rpm when commanded. But the Power Supply Fan does not. Having watched it for a few days now, the Power Supply Fan, according to AFCFanControl, never varies outside of a range from about 600-640 rpm, regardless of what I do with AFCFanControl.
Also (and not surprisingly), whenever the graphics-moderate apps run, when I ramp all the fan speeds up using SMCFanControl, Temperature Monitor shows that the all of the temperatures within the machine plummet, except in the power supply locations. Power Supply Location 2 is the worst affected. Because the Power Supply Fan does not react as the other fans do, the "crashes" still occur.
I could post some screen shots of the read outs of SMCFanControl and Temperature Monitor, although I think I have covered the key points in this post.
It seems that the Power Supply Fan is still working, but does not respond to increased loads.
Instinctively, I'm worried that if that's right, it might be a hard problem to fix. Any suggestions? Help! I would really appreciate them!
Cheers

Thanks for your response Grant. I had already read about, and I think excluded, dust in graphics card/fan/assembly as a cause. The entire inside of the computer, including the graphics card/fan/assembly, is as clean as a whistle. It looks clean. I've cleaned the dust out every now and then (including a few days ago). Also, my undersanding (derived from the article, linked in my first post) is that I might expect to see high temperatures in the Northbridge and memory module B if the graphics card was overheating. According to Temperature Monitor, however, locations do not increase in temperature when I run the relevant apps. Finally, the graphics card/assembly does not feel too hot to touch.
It is strange that SMCFanControl lists the Power Supply Fan as being software controllable, if that fan is not. Still, your comments are consistent with my observations, as the fan simply does not respond to software control.
There are two upsides: First, I've something of a work-around. I've worked out what temperature must be achieved in Power Supply Location 2 for a crash to occur, and I can watch that location in Temperature Monitor, terminating the process before that treshold is reached. Of course, that's not ideal. Second, ramping all the other fans up does significantly delay the onset of the problem, and makes recovery time much quicker.
Is there any donwside to peridically ramping up the other fans when running the relevant apps? Given that it causes all of the other locations to cool significantly, could this lessesn the life expecancy of the mahcine? (I don't want to run the fans up all the time - that's like sitting next to a jet ready for take off!)
Also, a correction to my first post: Yesterday, with all the other fans running on full and running an HD streaming video, the Power Supply Fan did, eventually, slowly, come up to ~740rpm, which is much higher than the ~640rpm maximum I had previously seen, and this may have aided delaying the onset of the problem.
I'm not sure where this leaves me? The problem might now be able managed. Well, sort-of. But it's not eliminated.

From both? Interesting. I like that though. I am looking for the controls to be on the iPhone rather than the stereo as it ***** finding songs this way. And yeah, $39.00 is a lot for this, and it is only roughly 8" long. Oh well, I will need it, so I will have to buy it. Thanks for the message back!

Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

Thanks Tom.
So I will need upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

Will the New iTunes 11 for Windows work on Windows 98???

Will the New iTunes 11 for Windows work on Windows 98???
A. True.
B. False.

My opinion is no. Apple has no plans updating version 11 to meet the needs of Windows 98 being that #1 - Windows is pushing forward with their Windows 8 operating system launching in a week and iTunes 11 would have needed to be re-written from scratch to accomodate the Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems. It is a known issue that iTunes is bloated and most Windows users will use other media players to manage their music rather than iTunes. #2, Windows 98 is so old that even Windows does not recommend anyone using anything past XP as you are exposing your PC to viruses or anything that no longer can be patched. I highly recommend upgrading to atleast to Windows 7 and this is of course if your PC matches the bare minimum of hardware to use iTunes 10.7 and 11. You are actually doing more harm than good by using an outdated OS.

HT1688 Will the Maps on my Iphone 5 work in Ireland?

Will the Maps on my iphone 5 work in Ireland?

It depends on how you purchased it. Did you ask for an unlocked phone at the Apple store? Did you get the iPhone at a substantial savings? Did you sign a two-year contract with AT&T. If you did get an unlocked phone, then no, it is isn't locked. If you answered yes to the others, then it is locked to AT&T. AT&T will only unlock the phone if you have completed your contract with them.

I wanted to watch it on our MacBook for sound and clarity, and every time I accessed it, it locked up. To the point that the only solution was holding down the power button.
Everything else worked, and I could freely enter information and open other Facebook entries, but when hitting the "play" button or clicking on the video it immediately bought up the spinning beach ball, and would never clear. Any solutions?

Did you try viewing the video in a different browser? Firefox or Chrome maybe?
