BizTalk Server 2009 Installation Errors

I just thought I’d mention these install errors since I’ve gotten them now on several occasion when installing BizTalk Server 2009 Enterprise 64-bit Single Sign On Master Secret Server on Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 (although I doubt the last one has any role in these errors).

This page describes the procedure of Installing and Clustering the Enterprise SSO Master Secret Server, although it mentions nothing about these specific peculiarities.

Resolution

I have received this error if I connected to the server using Remote Desktop/Microsoft Terminal Service Client without using the /admin flag (former /console flag). Read more here.

Resolution

This error has occurred in clustered environments when the clustered instance of MSDTC was not active on the node on which the installation was taking place. Failover the MSDTC to the current node that installation is to be run on and try again.
