Hello,

Problem: Recreating Biztalk Server Setup on new hardware.

We are trying to upgrade / move our current installation to a new piece of
hardware.

Steps Taken:
Backed up Biztalk Databases
Restored Databases to new hardware
Installed Biztalk

Problems:
Tracking appears to work perfectly.  Searching for a channel in Messaging
Manager generates the following error.
"The response document is not valid.  This could be due to an incorrect
server Biztalk Server path, or due to a failure in server authentication.
If you want to change the Biztalk Server path, on the tools menu, click
options, and then specify a new Biztalk Server path."

Any ideas, pointers on how to do this.

Thanks
Alexis

Are you using the same computername? Perhaps the databases are tied to the
computername you installed it to. I tried to rename my BizTalk computer
once, but that seemed to be impossible. I did all kind of tricks with SSO
settings, sp_addserver, sp_deleteserver and a lot more, but I couldn't get
it to work.

Best regards
Niklas E

GREAT question!!
Can anyone answer this one please?

What is the way to go when moving biztalk servers?
For example when you move from a SQL server on win2K to one on win2K3.

Kind regards,
Christof

It is all about changing the computer names, you have to set it in
different places, please read the backup and restore documentation, it has
all the data needed if you want to restore the data on different servers
(changing the computer names), for ex, if you changed the MessageBox
Database, you have to set it manually in 2 places, if you changed the
tracking database you have to set someother places.
A very good link that has all the details is at :
