Question

I am facing to a problem during configuration Biztalk 2016 Group

[2017-01-06 16:25:27:0170 Error BtsCfg] The server has not been configured. To configure the server, run the BizTalk Server Configuration wizard and configure the Group feature.

I checked these things:

• SQL Server machine is accessable, SQL Server is running, TCP/IP is enabled.
• The installing user have Administrators right.
• MSDTC is configured on the Biztalk server machine and SQL Server machine, using DTCPing to test the connection from server to sql server machine is success.
• SSO had been successfully configured.

Edit: First error line in log:

Answer 1

Make sure the two machines have different CID: How to check: Download and run DTCPing tool, if they are the same, you would see warning like: WARNING: the CID values for both test machines are the same.

And then you can see error during Group configuration: Failed to configure with error message [Exception of type ‘System.EnterpriseServices.TransactionProxyException’ was thrown.]

Resolve: re-install MSDTC in one of two machines: Run in command line:

msdtc –uninstall
shutdown -r -t 00
msdtc -install
net start msdtc

Answer 2

Uninstall the BizTalk setup and re-install and then try to configure it.

Answer 3

Also make sure Windows Firewall is not running, or at least not blocking MSDTC. I would turn it off entirely to rule it out, and then turn it back on and fine-tune what it is allowing if you really want Windows Firewall running.
