Ive recently just setup BizTalk 360 (http://www.biztalk360.com/)to try out the monitoring capabilities. I also thought it would be interesting to see how things go since this given environment was a BizTalk 2006R2 environment and fairly old stuff now.
I had a couple of issues during the install/setup but i was able to solve all of these using the troubleshooting page on the BizTalk 360 website and a little common sense. To be honest a couple of them were me being a bit lazy and not reading the install notes properly.
The changes I had to make were as follows:
1. Changed connection string to the biztalk 360 database as described on the troubleshooting website to integrated security
2. Change the IIS6 virtual directory to .net 4 rather than .net 2
3. Add the full trust element to the web.config file for BizTalk 360
4. Add the IIS NT Authentication providers as described on the troubleshooting page
Bearing in mind this was a CTP release I was very pleased with the support on the website which helped me to get this setup andeven with these problems it still took less than 20 minutes. I would expect BizTalk 2006 to be a slightly less target for the BizTalk 360 team than BizTalk 2010 but it goes to prove it can be installed pretty easily and im not enjoying the management features which I think are a big opportunity for lots of organisations to really get their production operations of biztalk working in secure and effective way
Good job guys
