An explanation on the max dop parameter in SQL server and why it matters for SQL servers hosting BizTalk platforms. The maximum degree of parallism will affect the performance in a bad way for any non-BizTalk databases on your SQL.
The slides from my big data session at Microsoft TechDays can be found below. During the session, we discussed a lot of the fundamental technologies of the most popular Hadopp distributions including HDFS, Map-Reduce, HBase, Hive, Pig, Sqoop and others…(read more)

The correct title might be: “Moving the BizTalk databases – The right way”. Because the way outlined in the BizTalk help, is not much help. Scared yet? Well not after reading thru my articles.
This is a very natural question and the answer is very simple: Because you have to. At some time you might need to move databases around in a big datacenter or, as for me, you need to move to a default instance on a new server (remember kids BAM needs SSIS to work properly and it will not on a named instance).
Yes, very. There is even a script that does a lot of things for you but there are a lot of manual steps you need to take.
So in order to make these articles a bit more texbook-like I will describe a scenario that I went thru.
The object of moving the databases was that the customer wanted one of their environment to be less of a testing environment and more like a staging environment. The BizTalk installation was setup on an SQL server machine that was used for patch testing and such. Not a good base for a staging environment.
I moved the databases form a working environment into a new server. The BizTalk databases did not exist before the move (this is useful to know if you plan on doing a log shipping database move, because this is not).
The BizTalk machines (this is a clustered environment) stayed the same, only the databases were moved.
The two BizTalk machines are called BizTalk001 and 002. They are a BizTalk cluster but if you do not have a clustered environment; just ignore everything I write about that.
The old SQL server is called PhyBizTalkDb and the databases to be moved are installed under the BizStage named instance.
The new SQL Server is called VBizTalkDb and the BizTalk databases will be installed at the default instance.
In no way would I undertake this feat if Microsoft did not support it, and they do. You can find the quite extensive article here. I will refer to this article so keep it handy.
The next thing to understand is that in no way can you make me liable for anything you do to your BizTalk environment based on what you read here.
I was fortunate enough, as well as prepared enough, to test the whole scenario in another environment before heading into the scenario above. I highly recommend you do the same. Just see to that the BizTalk and SQL Servers are on different machines, otherwise you don’t get any practice.
Before you begin you have get a couple of things done.
More to follow.

I ‘ve encountered a problem sharing Contacts from within Outlook. We were trying to share a contactgroup where both parties are from the same company, so on the same Office365 license.
However, on trying to send out a share request we stumbled upon following error:
“Problem: Your organization’s policy does not allow you to share with this recipient.”
At first it seemed that there should be anything wrong with the organizations settings made in office365. But nothing strange was configured there… Setting the permissions to the other mail addres did seem to work. What got me questioning there would be anyhting wrong in the configurational settings.
It turned out there was a difference when trying to share the contact or setting the permission. And after realising this, even sharing the contact worked just fine… without changing any of the configuration settings!
