1) How do I reconnect BizTalk Servers with a new SQL server that contains
the backup up the SQL server that crashed?
2)Can BizTalk connect to SQL server via 3DNS?

One more question if the Master Secret server dies how do I make another
server the master?


Server A-B dies (Let's say A-B was a clustered master and both servers died)

The Database is still there and I have a backup of the secret key. Now I
want server C to be the master Secret Server. How do I do that?

Hi,

The eayest option is to restore the DBs to a server with the same name, then
the BizTalk servers will reconnect on startup. If you change the SQL server
name you need to change the reg keys on the BizTalk servers, and also edit
the BizTalk databases.

Lee Graber has a good post, and some sample scripts for changing the DB
server name here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/biztalk_core_.../14/417468.aspx

As for the moving the SSO MSS, i followed the docs, and it worked fine:

Change the DB with an XML config
Resrote the master secret from the backup file.

I've been labbing with Disaster Recovery using Virtual PC images, it takes a
while to sort out, but it works fine when you get it sorted.

Feel free to contact me via my blog if you have any questions.

Regards,

Alan
