The powers at be have decided that they would like to automatically run a trace on one of our analysis servers when it processes a cube in the early hours of the morning. Now I have no problem creating a SQL Profile to run and store the results in a database table for them, but I have no idea how to automate it so that it runs everyday, any help would be greatly appreciated.

SQL 2005 contains a utility called SQLDIAG. It has the ability start and stop given specific date time information. You can also collect Windows perf, event logs, and a nice blocking script that will record blocking over time. SQLDIAG replaced PSSDIAG, that was geared toward previous versions. The BOL contains basic information on the utility. WARNING: SQLDIAG has the ability to collect massive amounts of information that can degrade performance. Make sure you collect as little as necessary to diagnose the issue.
