BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

Have you seen this error when installing BizTalk 2004?

Failed to deploy BizTalk system assembly "C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004\Microsoft.BizTalk.GlobalPropertySchemas.dll".

Unspecified exception: An error occurred while enlisting in a distributed transaction.

I ran into this a few weeks ago when trying to install BizTalk 2004 on a Windows 2003 Server with SP1 preloaded and using a remote SQL Server.

It appears that like Windows XP SP2, Windows SP1 changes some DTC settings. This does not affect BizTalk when SQL is running locally of course.

After working with Microsoft Support for about 2 days. It turned out that the fix is rather quit easy. In our case, we had some other issues that made it seem much more complex then it was.

To correct this problem, go to Component Services, My Computer Properties, DTC tab, and then Security Configurations (bottom left).

1. Follow the standard BizTalk Installation instructions for setting up DTC.

2. Under Client and Administration, make sure “Allow Remote Clients” is checked.

3. Under Transaction Manager Communication, make sure “No Authentication Required” is checked

The end result was changes to two registry settings:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
\MSDTC\AllowOnlySecureRpcCalls is now 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
\MSDTC\TurnOffRpcSecurity is now 1

The UI now looked like this:

Well done - you saved me from endless hours of frustration. A few months ago I was able to deploy successfully on this server, but this morning I got this error using the same deployment method. Obviously a patch got installed on this server in the meantime which altered the security setitngs, but this workaround allowed me to continue. Thanks again.

I have been recieving the same error for a different reason... however... Security Configuration has mysteriously vanished from the MSDTC properties window.... ???

I have not seen that before. Maybe it’s a permission problem? The only think I can suggest is to call Microsoft support.

Thank you so much for this posting. I have been frustrated, thinking my Win2k3 server was configured correctly. Grrr.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi,

Is this change done on the bts server, sql server or both?

Thanks

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

We made the change on both the BizTalk Servers and SQL Server. I know for sure it needs to be done on the BizTalk Server.

Hope this helps.

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

I get this error with Windows 2003, no SP1. As you know the MS DTC security configuration dialog does not include a Transaction Manager section. Is there a way to resolve this problem in my environment?

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

Nope, I don't know a way. You probably have a different problem. Maybe related to permissions on the windows\temp directory.

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

Just to clarify one of the statements above, I've found that you do need to make the DTC changes on both the BizTalk and SQL Server machines in each of the three Windows 2003 environments I have installed.

I've just been through the process of installing BizTalk on a server with Windows 2003 SP1 installed for the first time and found the above tips useful so thanks for that.

I'm now trying to install BizTalk SP1 on the same machine and am running into problems. During the installation the installer trys to stop the WMI (WinMgmt) service, but this hangs in a "stopping" state. I also see a DCOM error in the system event log indicating that "server {clsid} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout". The {clsid} corresponds to WinMgmt.

Anyone else ever installed BizTalk SP1 on top of 2003 SP1 or seen anything similar to this?

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

Hello.

I have seen something like this before. I think this was related to.. let me remember.. might have been permissions on the Windows\Temp directory if I remember correct. Try adding everyone to that directory with full control. Just remember to remove it once you are done.

Hope this helps.

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

Thanks for the reply.

We finally tracked the problem down to some IBM Director monitoring software which was installed on the server. This was preventing the WinMgmt service from stopping cleanly and causing our failure.

Removed the software and everything worked fine.

Cheers

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

I had the same problem deploing to two W2K3 SP1 servers. DTC changes did not helped. Finally granting Everyone the full access to the Windows\Temp folder has solved the problem.

re-up all the previous "what a lifesaver" comments. Saved my kiester not once, but twice (since I forgot about it the second time around).

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

I was installing a BizTalk Server Group to a remote SQL Cluster and needed to change the Network DTC Access settings on the SQL side before BT2004 would load. Thanks for your help.

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

Hi,

Do you still need to restart the computer after the change? because I am having a problem using the SubmitDirect Adapter on Windows Server 2003 SP1 with Sharepoint 2.0.

It seems that when I enabled the Receive Location "SubmitRequestRL" that is of type "Submit". I got this error from Biztalk Server.

The Messaging Engine failed to add a receive URL "SubmitRequestRL" to the adapter "Submit". Reason: "80131014".;

The receive location "submit://submitrequest" is shutting down. Details:"The Messaging Engine failed while notifying an adapter of its configuration. ".

Note that I am using the "Setup.bat" on the SDK Sample.

Hopefully someone could help me out.

Thanks,
Fred

Hi,

Failed to create subscription database "BizTalkMsgBoxDb" on server...
Statements could not be prepared
Conflicting locking hints specified.
..
SQL script file ... \\msgboxlogic.sql"
SQL command batch:" CREATE PROECDURE [dbo].[int_PurgeMessageZeroSumTable] ...

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

My DTC configuration looks like the screenshot on both SQL and BizTalk servers. C:\temp and C:\windows\temp has everyone FULL control and I still get the error message.

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

When you try to apply SP1 for BT2004 over a SQL Server 2005 you get this error.
This is caused by the execution of msgboxlogic.sql script.
If you open this script you will note that some queries are done with both (ROWLOCK) and (TABLOCK). Remove the "WITH (ROWLOCK)" clause from these queries will allow you to execute the script without problems.
Note that while installing SP1 this script will be overwritten! You should be able to replace the original one with the modified one just after it has been overwritten.
Take the folder "c:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004\Schema" opened and replace the file during the installation.

Hope this could be useful.

BizTalk 2004 isn’t supported on SQL 2005. That’s probably the problem.

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

Only a comment about Biztalk 2004 SP1 and IBM Director Software.

As stated before in this thread, IBM Director affects SP1 installation. You don't need to remove the software just go services.msc and stop All IBM Director related services. In my case were 3, IBM Director Agent Web Server, IBM Director Agent WMI CIM Server, IBM Director Support Program.

One comment about DTC settings. If both computers are in the same domain on Active Directory there is no need to disable Mutual Authentication on DTC Security Properties.

Best regards.

# re: BizTalk 2004 Install Problems with Windows 2003 SP1 Pre-Installed

Hi, thanks for the explanation. Worked fine in my server, at first time I have this error and nothing worked. I was thinking to re-install all the software including the OS. My problem is that I forgot to install a prerequisite to configure Biztalk 2004

Biztalk Adapter for WebService. Dont forget to install this, even if it ocurr an error during the installation of the adapter.

Good luck, I hope this info works for those who still has problems.

Did you try to check the Enable XA transactions also. After enabling it... stop and start the DTC.
