Introduction
This document describes the process for installing and configuring Microsoft® BizTalk® Server on a single computer running Windows 7 or Windows® Vista.
We recommend that you read this entire document before beginning your installation. This is because BizTalk Server connects many disparate components both internal and external to your enterprise so information can flow smoothly and securely in many directions. While even the most basic single-server deployment relies on many variables, most real-world deployment scenarios extend much farther to include multiple servers and eventually clusters of both physical and virtual computers.
No two deployments of BizTalk Server are the same. Before you begin the installation process, gather information on the needs of your enterprise, and discuss the scope of your deployment with the IT Professionals, System Administrators, and Developers who will use BizTalk Server. By studying this Installation Guide and carefully analyzing the specific needs of your enterprise, you will eventually create your own deployment roadmap.
For information about installing BizTalk Server 2010 on multiple computers, see Installing BizTalk Server 2010 and BAM in a Multi-Computer Environment (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=191321).
You can also download and install the BizTalk Server Best Practices Analyzer (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=196491). The Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) examines a BizTalk Server deployment and generates a list of best practices issues it discovers. BPA performs configuration-level verification, by reading and reporting only, and uses the gathered data to determine whether best practices are being followed.
