WMI Script to Terminate Suspended Orchestration Instances

Are you tired of having to go into the BizTalk Admin tool to terminate any suspended Orchestration instance before you want to redeploy? Scripting this task is simple using WMI. Just create a file called Terminate.vb and copy in this code:

TerminateAllOrchs

Sub TerminateAllOrchs

  Query = "SELECT * FROM MSBTS_ServiceInstance where ServiceClass = 1"

  Set InstSet = GetObject("Winmgmts:!root\MicrosoftBizTalkServer").ExecQuery(Query)

  For Each Inst In InstSet

    Inst.Terminate

  Next

End Sub

This script will terminate all Orchestrations so please use caution.

It could be further parameterized to only terminate specific Orchestrations. 

The Query would look something like:

  Query = "SELECT * FROM MSBTS_ServiceInstance where ServiceClass = 1 and AssembliName='<name>'"
