You can cluster a BizTalk Server 2006 Host and the Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) service only by using Microsoft Windows Clustering

INTRODUCTION

You can cluster a Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 Host and the Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) service only by using Microsoft Windows Clustering.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft supports using a Windows server cluster to cluster a BizTalk Host. Additionally, you can use a Windows server cluster to cluster the Enterprise SSO service that is integrated in BizTalk Server 2006 or in BizTalk Server 2004. BizTalk Host clustering is only available in BizTalk Server 2006 Enterprise Edition. In the other editions of BizTalk Server 2006 and in all the editions of BizTalk Server 2004, you cannot cluster a BizTalk Host.

Configurations in which you cluster a BizTalk Host by using any other clustering software or by using any other platform are not supported. Additionally, configurations in which you cluster the Enterprise SSO service by using any other clustering software or by using any other platform are not supported.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
