Is there any way to automate (e.g. script) the manual steps that you have to
go through after running the BTS Installer? For each orchestration that gets
deployed, it seems that I have to manually go into BizTalk Administration
Console and choose Enlist (typically 3-5 clicks to perform) and Start
Processing (another 3-5 clicks). We never change any of hte default
selections, we just want to enlist and start the orchestrations.

Hi Jeff,

Scott Colestock has written a great NAnt build script for using in BizTalk
deployments. It takes a while to get it set up, but it gives you a "One-click-
deploy" for your BizTalk solution.

Thanks Alan,
We are using Scott's structure in our development enviroment, and I had
forgotten that it included the utilities to enlist orchestrations. We are
trying to automate our product installation as much as possible and this will
help.

I should also mention the WMI samples available in the SDK. See "Admin\WMI
(BizTalk Server Samples Folder)" in the documentation, available online
here:
