Renaming Your Biztalk Machine Without Loosing Data

Hi there,

I recently came across a situation where i had to change my machine name.You all may be wondering about the big stuff in that but let me tell you that it turned out to be a big headache for me when i had to reconfigure my biztalk again as i had to preserve my old data.I followed the following steps which helped me to get my biztalk running back....

Note: Do this on your own risk, it worked for me but i'm sure if you follow the steps carefully it would work for you too.


Steps to configure your biztalk incase of machine name change

1. Add your current domain as member to each biztalk group by going to the computer management.

   Administrators,BizTalk Application Users,BizTalk Isolated Host Users,BizTalk Server  Administrators,BizTalk Server B2B Operators,BizTalk Server Operators,SSO Administrators(Very  Important).

2. Navigate to  your installation directory and search for SampleUpdateInfo.xml file.
   You can find SampleUpdateInfo file in Microsoft  Biztalk Server 2013\Bins32\Schema\Restore           folder.

3. Edit SampleUpdateInfo file like this:-
 
   Find and Replace all the “SourceServer” value with your original Server name.
   Find and Replace all the “DestinationServer” value with your new Server name.
   Stuff related to Analysis, BAM, RuleEngine, HWS, and EDI are commented by default, if you are      using them in your environment un-comment the required ones.

   save and close the file after editing.

4. Open Command prompt and change the directory to following location :
    D:\Installation\Microsoft  Biztalk Server 2013\Bins32\Schema\Restore

  (You would have your biztalk installed in different drive but the script files reside under                     \bins32\schema\Restore folder)

5.After changing the directory, run the following command to update the biztalk database:-

   cscript UpdateDatabase.vbs SampleUpdateInfo.xml

 //Make sure that the management database,messagebox db and rule engine db gets updated.

 Again run the following command for updating the registry:-

   cscript UpdateRegistry.vbs SampleUpdateInfo.xml

 //This script will update the local registry with the correct server name. You need to run this script on each BizTalk server you have    in the group.

6.Restart the WMI service by going to services.msc
 
  //This step is required because most of the administration tasks you perform from the admin console depends on WMI.

7.Promote the new server as master secret server:
  Follow these steps :-

A) On the Start menu, click All Programs, click Microsoft Enterprise Single Sign-On, and then click SSO Administration.

B) In the scope pane, right click System, and then click Properties. The Master secret server is displayed on the General tab of the System    Properties dialog box.

C) Click Change to select a new Master secret server.

D) Logon to the new Master secret server to restore the Master secret to the registry of the new Master secret server.

E) On the Start menu, click Run, and then type cmd.

F) At the command line prompt, go to the Enterprise Single Sign-On installation directory. The default installation directory is
   :\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On.

G) Restart the new Master Secret Server.

H) Type ssoconfig –restoreSecret , where is the path and name of the file where the master secret is stored.
   The master secret is stored in the registry at the following location:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ENTSSO\SSOSS

8.Restart your machine.

9.Open Sql Server Management Studio and logon using windows authentication

  Check the following table and column name under BizTalkMgmtDb for new server name, if the column still has the old server name then update that with the new server name:-

   adm_group table, SSOServerName
   adm_server table, Name column
   adm_MessageBox, DBServerName

10. Restart all the BizTalk/SSO services.

11.Open the BizTalk administration console, click on the existing node (the one pointing to original server), right-click and remove.
 Right click on the “BizTalk Server 2006 Administration” node and select “Connect to Existing      Group…”. Provide the new Server Name and select the BizTalkMgmtDb database.

Click Ok.You will get all your application. Incase the host instance is unable to start, try reconfiguring it with your btsadmin credentials.

12. Restart your system again and try running any working application.If you are able to run your application then your setup was a success otherwise you need to look into the the error and try resolving those errors by yourself.
