does anyone know how to change the default data directory for Analysis Services?

just to note: the default directory is usually,

Code:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\Data

so... is there a way to change it (without reinstalling) to, say,

Code:
D:\Microsoft Analysis Services\Data

thanks a lot!!!
 

Connect to the server in analysis
1) Right Click on the server node.
2) Select Properties.
3) General Tab modify Data Folder.

I would also recommend moving the Temp directory to a drive other than the data drive. You can also add a Second temp directory in the registry. the key doesn't exist but you can add it if you need to. I recommend this for large cubes.
