Hi all,

I receive the following error when I attempt to add a Biztalk Server to BAS.

The call to StsWebService has failed. Check the server Application log for
more details. There was an unexpected exception while we tried to retrieve
the configuration information about the Sts Adapter and the computer running
the Sts Adapter. QueryInterface for interface System.IDisposable failed. -->
QueryInterface for interface System.IDisposable failed

SQL Server and Biztalk are on the same Windows 2003 box. I looked in the
application log, and the message is pretty much identical to the error above
.
Has anyone encountered this error? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Rick

Thank Adrian,

I folllowed the instructions and am still having the problem. I assume the
Sharepoint Messaging Adapter service you are referring to is named
"Microsoft.Biztalk.KwTpm.StsBizTalkAdapter.StsBizTalkAdapterService". there'
s
also a component showing up in com+ with this name. Do I have to re-register
this also? Thanks for the help.

This problem occurs if the registry information for the StsAdapter
