BizTalk BAM Portal configuration issue on Windows Server 2008

I'm back from my easter break and just spending a couple of days getting to grips with BizTalk 2009.  I have created a new virtual image with the following on it:

Windows Server 2008
SQL Server 2008
Visual Studio 2008
BizTalk Server 2009 Developer Edition

I have encountered an issue when configuring the BizTalk BAM Portal.  All of the usual features of BizTalk, including BAM itself, have configured without any problems, but when I try to configure the BAM Portal on the default web site I get the following error message when I double-click the error icon:

Failed to validate BAM Portal Web Site (BAMPortal)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp?ProdName=Microsoft+BizTalk+Server+2009&ProdVer=3.8.368.0&EvtSrc=BAMPortal&EvtID=idsFailedToValidateWebsite

The solution:

Thanks to this link http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/biztalkediandas2/thread/9365ca62-061c-4f34-a68b-e0837d46f1ef I was able to get a pointer to the fix that is required.  Here are the steps that I took:


  1. Open the Server Manager MMC snap-in (right-click on Computer and select the Manage option).
  2. Expand the features node.
  3. Select the Web Server node.
  4. Look through the role services.  Check for IIS 6 Management Compatability and see if it says it is installed.
  5. If not installed, click Add Role Services on right of screen.  Select the IIS 6 Management Compatability and install.
  6. Go back to BizTalk configuration, the BAM Portal feature should now install without any issues.

Thanx for this tip. Could not get BAM to work on Win2k8 until I found your post.

Ditto, this is like the fifth time I've had problems setting something up because of the IIS6 compatibility layer not being installed. I'd guess I should have learned by now...

Thanks! Your post and the power of Google SEO have saved me from yet another headache.
