Just learned today the hard way that .NET framework 3.5 and PerformancePoint Monitoring Server 2007 have serious issues when they are installed on the same server. To be more accurate, when you use the Dashboard Designer to connect to PerformancePoint Monitoring Server 2007, you get the following message: "Unable to Connect to Server". Nice, isn't it? :)
The thing is that PPS Monitoring exhibits this issue when installed after .NET Framework 3.5 is installed on the same machine. A simple workaround is to uninstall both of them and then install PPS Monitoring first, followed by .NET Framework 3.5. You can find here a KB article with more details on the issue.
