Here’s a sample PowerShell script/functions to start/stop BizTalk orchestrations.
This is an extended version of the Stop-Orchestration VBScript included in the BizTalk
2006 SDK, which I hope someone finds useful :-).

The script can be used to start or stop either a specific orchestration or a group
of orchestrations defined in a BizTalk assembly. For example, to stop and unenlist
all orchestrations in a given assembly, you could use this:

stop-orch -assembly 'MyProject.BizTalk,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=50b7b2906e3f8aa5'
-unenlist

Here’s the code for the script:

$script:bound = 2

$script:started = 4

$script:controlRecvLoc = 2

$script:controlInst = 2

function script:get-assemblyfilter([string]$assembly)
{

   # The BizTalk WMI provider uses separate properties
for each


   # part of the assembly name, so break it up to
make it easier to handle


   $parts = $assembly.Split((',', '='))

   $filter = "AssemblyName='$($parts[0])'"

   if ( $parts.Count
-gt 1 ) {

      for ( $i=1; $i -lt $parts.Count; $i += 2 )
{

         $filter = "$filter
and Assembly$($parts[$i].trim())='$($parts[$i+1])'"


      }

   }

   return $filter

}

function script:find-orch([string]$name, [string]$assembly)
{

   # We want to be able to find orchestrations by

   # name and/or assembly. That way we can control

   # all orchestrations in a single assembly in one
call


   $filter = ""

   if ( ![String]::IsNullOrEmpty($name)
) {

      $filter = "Name='$name'"

      if ( ![String]::IsNullOrEmpty($assembly)
) {

         $filter = "$filter
and $(get-assemblyfilter $assembly)"


      }

   } else {

      $filter = $(get-assemblyfilter $assembly)

   }

   get-wmiobject MSBTS_Orchestration `

      -namespace 'root\MicrosoftBizTalkServer' `

      -filter $filter

}

function start-orch([string]$name, [string]$assembly)
{

   $orch = (find-orch $name $assembly)

   $orch | ?{ $_.OrchestrationStatus
-eq $bound } |
%{

      write-host "Enlisting
$($_.Name)..."


      [void]$_.Enlist()

   }

   $orch | ?{ $_.OrchestrationStatus
-ne $started }
| %{

      write-host "Starting
$($_.Name)..."


      [void]$_.Start($controlRecvLoc, $controlInst)

   }

}

function stop-orch([string]$name, [string]$assembly, [switch]$unenlist = $false)
{

   $orch = (find-orch $name $assembly)

   $orch | ?{ $_.OrchestrationStatus
-eq $started }
| %{

      write-host "Stopping
$($_.Name)..."


      [void]$_.Stop($controlRecvLoc, $controlInst)

      if ( $unenlist )
{

         [void]$_.Unenlist()

      }

   }

}
