AS Settings

Are there any AS settings that affect whether cubes process query requests  or cube processing using multiple processors.  If not, how is AS in using multiple processors? 

 [Stacia Misner] The first place I’d look would be the server properties in SSMS. Right-click on the server name in the Object Explorer and take a look at the properties there.

[Reed Jacobson] For processing, it's an option in the Process dialog box (that you get when you use the explicit Process command, either from BIDS or from SSMS). You can choose whether to go parallel or sequential. I believe that if you choose parallel, it makes intelligent use of the number of available processors. Regarding queries, my guess would be the same as Stacias.
