Introduction

This document describes the process for installing and configuring Microsoft® BizTalk® Server on a single computer running Windows 7 or Windows® Vista.

We recommend that you read this entire document before beginning your installation. This is because BizTalk Server connects many disparate components both internal and external to your enterprise so information can flow smoothly and securely in many directions. While even the most basic single-server deployment relies on many variables, most real-world deployment scenarios extend much farther to include multiple servers and eventually clusters of both physical and virtual computers.

No two deployments of BizTalk Server are the same. Before you begin the installation process, gather information on the needs of your enterprise, and discuss the scope of your deployment with the IT Professionals, System Administrators, and Developers who will use BizTalk Server. By studying this Installation Guide and carefully analyzing the specific needs of your enterprise, you will eventually create your own deployment roadmap.

For information about installing BizTalk Server2010 on multiple computers, see Installing BizTalk Server 2010 and BAM in a Multi-Computer Environment (

You can also download and install the BizTalk Server Best Practices Analyzer ( The Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) examines a BizTalk Server deployment and generates a list of best practices issues it discovers. BPA performs configuration-level verification, by reading and reporting only, and uses the gathered data to determine whether best practices are being followed.

How to Use this Document

This guide is divided into the following four sections:

Introduction gives an overview of the installation process and tells what information you’ll need during the installation process. The section also lists important considerations regarding Windows® and SQL Server®.

Required for: BizTalk Server Developer Tools and SDK component.

SQL Server2008 R2/2008 SP1 A relational database server for processing high volumes of data. For optimal performance, we recommend SQL Server2008 R2/2008 SP1 Enterprise Edition. In order to fully use the BizTalk Server 2010 SDK, or deploy BizTalk Server applications from a Visual Studio development environment, you must also install the SQL Server Development Tools.

Important

BAM real-time aggregation (RTA) is not supported in SQLServer2008 R2/2008 SP1 Standard Edition. In order to use BAM RTA, you must install SQL Server 2008 R2/2008 SP1 Enterprise Edition.

Using SQL Server Express Edition in a production environment is not recommended. The Express edition does not include certain features needed by BizTalk Server.

• BizTalk Server supports all case-sensitive and case-insensitive SQL Server collations except for binary collations. Binary collations are not supported.

Required for: BizTalk Server Runtime, EDI, and BAM.

SQL Server2005 Notification Services Enables the use of BAM Alerts. Note that this SQL Server 2005 feature is not included in SQL Server 2008 R2/2008 SP1, and must be downloaded separately.

You can create an XML view of your existing relational data and work with it as if it were an XML file. To install SQLXML 4.0 SP1, see Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack (

Required for: BizTalk Server Runtime, Administrative Tools, and BAM.

Considerations When Installing BizTalk Server 2010

You should understand the following before beginning your installation:

Account namesYou should use the default account names whenever possible. The BizTalk Server setup program automatically configures installed components to use the default accounts. While using the default names simplifies setup and configuration, it is not always possible. For example, there may be multiple BizTalk Server groups within an Active Domain forest. In this situation the account names must be modified to avoid conflicts. If you must change the names, note that BizTalk Server supports only <NetBIOS domain name>\<user> name formats for service accounts and Windows groups.

Account names with BAM Management Web Service BizTalk Server does not support use of either built-in accounts or accounts without passwords for the BAM Management Web Service User. This is because the web service accesses the BizTalk database, and such accounts may represent a security threat.

Configuring BizTalk Server with such accounts may appear to succeed, but the BAM Management Web Service will fail.

Note that use of such accounts for the BAM Application pool is supported.

BizTalk Assembly Viewer Use of the BizTalk Assembly viewer is not supported on a 64-bit platform.

Install and Uninstall Uninstalling BizTalk Server is fully supported. However it requires manually deleting a number of databases which can be complicated and time consuming. If you are installing BizTalk Server as a developer or evaluator, consider installing on a virtual computer. This way, if you need to reinstall, you can easily roll back to a preset checkpoint without having to go through the uninstall process.

32-bit and 64-bit computers There are relatively few differences between installing BizTalk Server on 32-bit editions of Windows compared to installation on 64-bit editions of Windows. This document covers both 32-bit and 64-bit installations. Differences between them are noted in the instructions to follow.

Workgroups Installing and configuring BizTalk Server in the workgroup environment on a single computer is supported. SQL Server and BizTalk Server features and components are installed and configured on the same computer.
