      The two situations would be:

      1) An application server, which is sending to/receive from Biztalk server, needs to be restarted. Then what i should do on biztalk?

      Should i just stop the Host instance, after that server is back, then start the Host instance and check if every channel is in "Enabled" status?

      2)Restart the biztalk

      Should i stop all the biztalk services on the server? Or just stop the Host instance, since all biztalk related service is set to "Automatic"?

      Thanks for any advices.

      You can certainly stop the application hosts before restarting, though in general it shouldn't be strictly necessary, I think. If you are using any out of process adapters (i.e.: http receive, soap receive and so on), you might want to stop the containing processes as well (such as stopping iss) just to be on the safe side as well.

      Once you've restarted, you'll always want to check that all services are up and running. Usually, you should've have any problems with receive locations or send ports gertting stopped/disabled after a restart, though I guess it doesn't hurt to check 🙂
