Introduction I was working on doing diagnostics for an R-STS scenario with ADFS 2.0 and I was getting lots of errors. I had enabled tracing already for the client side but I was not getting any error traces for the client. I think a large percentage of the errors occur on the ADFS server side. […]

I have a trading partner who sends in invalid characters within a REF03 in an X12 850. In the following example, my element separator is *, and the customer is sending in a * within the REF03. I’m wanting to remove that invalid character before it hits the EDI pipeline component.
Example X12 850:
DTM*010*20110329~
PO1*10547090*1*EA*67.5**BP*PG7058SP—-~
PID*F****LDY FAITH INDIVIDUAL IRON~
REF*TC**HEREISMYINVALIDCHARACTER*~
I first captured all the TC Qualified Ref Segments into named groups (pre, text, and post) with the following Regular Expression.
@”(?<pre>REF\*TC\*\*)(?<text>.*?)(?<post>~)”
Using a method I am able to capture all the REF*TC segments, evaluate each one, and within each “text” group replace the errant * with “ “. Note the use of the MatchEvaluator delegate within the Replace method.
private string myGoodString(string strBadString, string strSegmentTerminator)
{
string strRegex = @”(?<pre>REF\*TC\*\*)(?<text>.*?)(?<post>”+strSegmentTerminator+”)”;
RegexOptions myRegexOptions = RegexOptions.None;
Regex myRegex = new Regex(strRegex, myRegexOptions);
string result = myRegex.Replace(strBadString, delegate(Match m)
{
return String.Join(String.Empty, new String[]{
m.Groups[“pre”].Value,
m.Groups[“text”].Value.Replace(“*”,” “),
m.Groups[“post”].Value
});
});
return result;
}
Here is the resulting X12 850 snippet.

In our previous part we’ve installed our Domain Controller and not to say the least one of the most vital servers within our to set up Server Environment.
This post will mainly focus on setting up the Active Directory Accounts which will be used throughout the other upcoming parts.
So let’s get started.
Like every installation and configuration it is essential to have an overview of the things you would like to accomplish before implementing them, well the same rules apply here; therefore below an overview of the required Security groups, user accounts and service accounts.
Contains service accounts for the BizTalk In-Process host instance in the host that the BizTalk Host Group is designated for.
Contains service accounts for the BizTalk Isolated host instance in the host that the Isolated BizTalk Host Group is designated for.
Contains users/groups that need to be able to configure and administer BizTalk Server.
Contains user/groups that will perform all party management operations
Contains user/groups that will monitor solutions.
Everyone group is used for this role by default.
Contains service accounts for Enterprise Single Sign-On service.
Contains users/groups that need to be able to configure and administer BizTalk Server and SSO service.
Contains accounts used to run BizTalk Configuration Manager when configuring SSO master secret server.
Contains account used for BizTalk Server Administrators
This built-in group has access to all the necessary file and system resources so that an account, when added to this group, can seamlessly act as an application pool identity.
Now that we have a clear overview of all the required security groups, user and service accounts it´s time to actually add them to our Active Directory.
Fire up your Domain Controller Server, and in your Server Manager open up “Roles” –> “Active Directory Users and Computers” and click on your domain
Add a new Organizational Unit and name called “BizTalk”, do this by “right clicking” on your domain –> “New” –> “Organizational Unit”
Enter the name of the new ‘Organizational Unit Object”, ensure to check “Protect container from accidental deletion” and press “OK”
Select the just created “Organizational Unit BizTalk” and a new group, do this by “right clicking” your “BizTalk Organizational Unit” –> “New” –> Group
Enter the name of the group, ensure the “Group Scope” is “Global” and the “Group Type” is “Security”. Once done press “OK”
Now add the following Security Groups, by repeating the 2 previous mentioned steps:
You should end up with the following groups within your “BizTalk Organizational Unit”
Now select the just created “Organizational Unit BizTalk” and two new “Organizational Units” named:
Do this by “right clicking” your “BizTalk Organizational Unit” –> “New” –> “Group” and filling out the required details (ensure to check “Protect container from accidental deletion”). You should end up with the following 2 new “Organization Units” within the “BizTalk” Organizational Unit”
Now select the just created “Organizational Unit Service Accounts” and add the following “Users”
[Repeat the following steps for each new “User” mentioned above]
Do this by “right clicking” your “Service Accounts Organizational Unit” –> “New” –> “User”
Fill out the “First Name”, “Full Name”, “User logon name” and press “next”
Assign a “Password”, ensure to uncheck “User must change password at next logon” and ensure to check “User cannot change password” and check “Password never expires”. Once done select “Next” and “Finish”
Eventually you should end up with the following users within your “Service Accounts Organizational Unit”
Now select the “Organizational Unit User Accounts” and add the following “Users”
[Repeat the following steps for each new “User” mentioned above]
Do this by “right clicking” your “User Accounts Organizational Unit” –> “New” –> “User”
Fill out the “First Name”, “Full Name”, “User logon name” and press “next”
Assign a “Password”, ensure to uncheck “User must change password at next logon” and ensure to check “User cannot change password” and check “Password never expires”. Once done select “Next” and “Finish”
Eventually you should end up with the following users within your “User Accounts Organizational Unit”
Now it’s time to set up the SQL Server Organizational Unit; this will be done exactly the same way as mentioned in “Setting up BizTalk Server Organizational Unit”. Below I will summarize what to create.
Add new organizational unit “Sql Server”
Within the “SQL Server” organizational unit add new organizational unit named “Service Accounts”
Add the following user accounts to the Organizational unit “Service Accounts”
Well we are almost there. Next thing on our list is to assign the created users to the correct Security group. For this you will need to open your previously created “BizTalk Organizational Unit”.
Further instructions on how to achieve this, are listed below; sorted by Security Group
Right click on the “Biztalk Application Users group” and select properties, select the “members tab” and then press “Add…”
Now select “Advanced…”
Ensure that your location is set to your domain, and in the “Common Queries” section add the value “srvc-bts” in the “Name starts with” textbox and select “Find Now”
Select the following account “srvc-bts-untrusted” and press “OK”
Select “OK”
Select “OK”
Repeat the steps as mentioned in “Group: BizTalk Application Users”, but this time you will select the “srvc-bts-trusted” account.
Repeat the steps as mentioned in “Group: BizTalk Application Users”, but this time you will select the following accounts (note; leave the common Queries Filter blank, this way you will see all accounts)
Repeat the steps as mentioned in “Group: BizTalk Application Users”, but this time you will select the following accounts (note; leave the common Queries Filter blank, this way you will see all accounts)
Repeat the steps as mentioned in “Group: BizTalk Application Users”, but this time you will select the following accounts (note; leave the common Queries Filter blank, this way you will see all accounts)
Repeat the steps as mentioned in “Group: BizTalk Application Users”, but this time you will select the following accounts (note; leave the common Queries Filter blank, this way you will see all accounts)
Repeat the steps as mentioned in “Group: BizTalk Application Users”, but this time you will select the following accounts (note; leave the common Queries Filter blank, this way you will see all accounts)
Repeat the steps as mentioned in “Group: BizTalk Application Users”, but this time you will select the following accounts (note; leave the common Queries Filter blank, this way you will see all accounts)
Open op the “Builtin Organizational Unit” and double click on the “IIS_IUSRS” group
Select the “Members” tab and press “Add…”
Add following accounts (note; leave the common Queries Filter blank, this way you will see all accounts)
This sums up part 3 SQL & BizTalk Active Directory Accounts, in part 4 we will make the necessary preparations for the SQL en BizTalk failover Cluster set ups, which will include:
Until next time

I was recently in New Zealand speaking to a couple user groups and I presented a “data enrichment” pattern that leveraged Microsoft’s Workflow Services. This Workflow used the BizTalk Adapter Pack to get data out of SQL Server and then used the BizTalk Mapper to produce an enriched output message. In this blog post, I’ll […]
