The following DSO Script lists the size for either all the cubes in a database, or for a single cube. Copy the script out and save it to a file called ListCubeSizes.vbs

To run the script issue the following command from a command shell. You will need to be logged on as a user with OLAP Administrator priviledges to get this script to run.

cscript ListCubeSizes.vbs <Server> <Database> [CubeName]

If your server, database or cube names have spaces in them, surround them in quotes. eg. “Foodmart 2000“

If you don't specify a particular cube name, the script will run over all cubes in the database.
