Today I published one of my little projects on GitHub. It’s called BTFGui and in essence it is just a simple GUI around the BizTalkFactory Management Automation (SDK) to do some basic BizTalk Administration.
Currently it has the following features:
- Stop/Restart HostInstances
- Stop/Restart Applications
- Remote Applications
- Export Application Bindings
- Terminate Suspended Instances
You can find It here on GitHub.
The main reason why I put this little thing together is simple: the BizTalk Administration Console can be very slow and time wasting if you just want to restart a hostinstance or export a binding. Therefore I created BTFGui and I can tell you that it saves me a lot of time when developing on my local BizTalk Server instance.

The Problem:
When installing BizTalk 2013 R2 on a fresh development machine, I encountered the following error:
“Error 1921.Service Windows Management Instrumentation (WinMgmt) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services.”
As my “Trend Micro Office ScanAgent” (the OfficeScan NT Listener in the screenshot) was dependant of the “Windows Management Instrumentation service”, I was not able to stop it manually:
The Solution:
However: I was able to change the startup type of the WMI service:
So change to startup type of the WMI service to “Disabled”, do a Windows restart and you should be able to re-run the BizTalk installer without the previous error… You will however experience a new error…
This makes sense as we completely disabled the WMI service. So, change the startuptype back to “Automatic” and start the WMI service yourself (this should be possible now):
