This tool will help you design and build your BizTalk solutions by making it easier to consistently separate out your processes into multiple hosts even on your developer boxes. It will also make sure all your developers and environments are using Hosts with the same names. This can be a total nightmare to manage and maintain.
This tool is fed by a simple config file to set up the Hosts, install Host Instances, and assign Adapters to these new Hosts. This tool has the ability to prompt for a user password and reset all the Adapters back to the default Host (this was used extensively when I was testing the tool).
This tool should work with BizTalk Server 2004, BizTalk Server 2006, and BizTalk Server 2006 R2. I have not tested it running against any remote servers.

This tool can help with importing and exporting policies and vocabularies in BizTalk Server 2004. This tool supports the use of a configuration file to limit what is imported and exported. This should also work for BizTalk 2006.

This tool can help with development with Biztalk 2004. This tool will start and stop Orchestration, start and stop Send and Receive Port, remove pipelines and map from Send and Receive Port, and restart all in-process Biztalk Hosts. This tool is a great resource for any Biztalk developer. This should also work with BizTalk 2006.

This tool can be used to monitor BizTalk Server 2004/2006 for suspended messages. Once a suspended message is detected, the message and the message context is written to disk for easy viewing.

This tool can be used to see the Convoy properties associated with any running Orchestration processing messages as a Convoy. Note that this queries critical BizTalk tables. Run with care. This tool works with BizTalk 2004 and BizTalk 2006.
