When you try to perform an incremental update on a virtual dimension that is used in a remote partition for a cube in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services, the index and data file aggregations on the remote partition are not updated. The Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query returns data that is out of date from the remote server.

For a list of previous hotfixes, see the "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 post-Service Pack 3 or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 post-Service Pack 3a hotfixes" section in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

This problem may occur because lazy aggregation processing is used to update the index and aggregation data files.
