We'll deploy application changes across all environments manually. So, at the time of DR, the things we need to restore in DR environment will be Msgbox DB and DTA Db. Will this be possible with the standard backup and restore process from BizTalk jobs? Also, what will happen to the messages that are in ACTIVE state? Will they also be carried over in the T-Log?

It created the linked server perfectly fine, and then bombs out with the following error message: OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection". Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "(null)". I'm using SQL 2008, MSDTC is running, configured Select Network DTC Access, Allow Inbound, Allow Outbound, No Authentication Required, and Enable XA Transactions. Both servers are running Windows Server 2008, and have been restarted since setting the DTC. There's no firewall, and Ad Hoc Distributed Queries are enabled on both servers. I've increased the timeout on the server that I'm trying to set log shipping up on to 0 (i.e. unlimited) but it's still having issues with opening the server connection. The Linked Server connection tests fine. I'm running out of ideas! Help! Thanks Jane Hello

I would suggest creating a view and modify the datetime there. Nick. Not that I’m aware of, unless you go hacking the stored proc’s. I would suggest creating a view and modify the datetime there.

Currently we run a seperate Biztalk host server at our DR site with it's own set of BizTalk databases and seperate service accounts/domain groups. I am about to redesign this, would it be best to chnage our DR installation of BizTalk to use the same service accounts and domain groups as production? I'd like to implement the BizTalk log-shipping process but we also want to keep our DR installation independent for DR testing.
