Hi

This is a bug. This will help from MSAS helpfile, release notes.

To use Windows to rebuild the LSP configuration data

1. Log on to your computer with an account that is part of
the Administrators group.
2. Open a command prompt window. To do this, click Start,
click Run, type cmd, and click OK.

3. At the command prompt, type netsh Winsock reset and press
ENTER.
4. When the Winsock reset is finished, The command window
shows the following message:
Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must
restart the machine in order to complete the reset.
If you see this message, restart your machine.

If you are not logged in with an administrator group, you
will receive the following error message:
Unable to reset the Winsock Catalog. Access is denied.
If you receive this message, log off of your computer, and
log on with an account that is part of the Administrators
group. Repeat steps 2-4.

5. After you restart your computer, see the KB article at
support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;892350 for more
information.
