[FIX] BizTalk Server 2010, 2013, 2013 R2 & 2016 errors “Class not registered (WinMgmt)” or “Access denied”

Hi folks,

Due to Microsoft .NET Framework Security Updates, some BizTalk Server installations may be affected. Access denied or Class not registered errors.

BizTalk engine will still process messages, including sending and receiving them.

The symptoms:

You can’t see, stop or start host instances
You can’t refresh applications
Gives access denied or Class not registered errors while trying to load some panels inside BizTalk Server Administration Console
Random errors in BizTalk Server Administration Console while browsing
Other weird issues while deploying applications via Deployment Framework for BizTalk (BTDF)

.NET Framework (4.6.2) has received some security updates on 20th July 2018. These updates refresh some assemblies that are in use by BizTalk Server! Microsoft states that a fix is coming mid July 2018, but, at this moment, I’m not seeing these “fixes” in my machine…

The actual fix;

You need to uninstall ALL your .NET Framework updates for version 4.6.2 that were installed after 19th of July 2018! Follow these simple steps to uninstall them (if you don’t know how to do it):

Open Control Panel
Select Program and Features
On the left pane, select “View installed updates”
Uninstall every update that targets .NET Framework 4.6.X that were installed AFTER 19th July 2018

IMPORTANT NOTE: Uninstalling some of them may require a reboot. DO NOT REBOOT UNTILL ALL UPDATES ARE UNINSTALLED!

Below are some updates that were identified by users as source of their problems:

BizTalk Server 2013 R2: KB4338600, KB4338601
BizTalk Server 2010: KB4338602
Other versions: KB4338600, KB4338605, KB4338613, KB4338814, KB4338424, KB4338419

The one that was causing my BizTalk Server Administration Console to fail was KB4338606. As you can see, this update isn’t listed above. Those updates were identified by other users, they may not, by any means, be the origin of your problems. This is why I prefer to uninstall them all! Remember, your mileage my vary.

If you have any questions or if you need help to figure this out, feel free to post a comment! I’ll try my best to help you out!

BTDF – How to config BRE policies or vocabularies

Tiago Oliveira — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 22:49:26 +0000

Greetings to all BizTalk programmers 🙂

There’s not much information how to properly add a BRE rule in a BTDF deployment script.
It’s very easy to put it to work, but not so easy to get it there.

Just follow the below instructions :

Create the rule in Business Rule Composer.
Use the Rules Engine Deployment Wizard to export the created policy or vocabulary xml.
Put the exported policy or vocabulary xml in a VS project folder (I advise to put in Deployment/BRE/Policies folder).
Edit btdfproj file (if you dont’t know how to set this file, check codeplex BTDF site https://biztalkdeployment.codeplex.com).
Set “IncludeVocabAndRules” element with the value “true”.
Add the following elements (set the policy or vocabulary xml name and location).
The BRE rules are always updated after MSI or VS deploy by executing the options “Deploy BizTalk solution” or “Deploy Rules or Vocabularies”.

This configuration also works with environment settings variables (${variablename}), allowing us for example to set different policy data in quality and production environments.

BTDF – Generate specific environment binding

Tiago Oliveira — Tue, 21 Feb 2017 22:59:38 +0000

BizTalk Deployment Framework (BTDF) is known as the best way to perform BizTalk artifacts installation.
It’s also the only way (I know) to create an automatic BizTalk deployment.

If you don’t know what is BTDF, go to https://biztalkdeployment.codeplex.com.

This Framework allow us to create an MSI deployment package directly from Visual Studio or Command Line.
It also has a great feature that allow us to maintain only one binding file concerning all environments.
That binding template files are replaced for the correct environment data in the MSI generation.
The specific environment data is configured in a XML file that can be opened in Excel.

Sometimes there are releases that only have binding changes, and you want to use the best practice of always use BTDF generated data in your deployments.
So… how can you deal with this in BTDF.!! The VS menu does not have an option to generate environment bindings.

The BTDF installation give us a tool called xmlpreprocess, which is used in the MSI generation by the BTDF engine.
Xmlpreprocess tool allow us to merge a specific environment configuration with the binding template (normally named master binding), resulting in the transformed deployment binding.

It’s very easy to use.

Open a Command Line Prompt
Navigate to the BTDF install folder “..\Framework\DeployTools” (normally C:\Program Files (x86)\Deployment Framework for BizTalk 5.6\Framework\DeployTools)
Execute xmlpreprocess.exe /v /c /noDirectives /i:”PORT_BINDINGS_MASTER_XML_PATH” /o:” OUTPUT_BINDING_FILE_PATH” /d:CurDir=”MAIN_SOLUTION_FOLDER” /s:”ENVIRONMENT_TO_GENERATE_BINDING_CONFIG_XML”

For example

xmlpreprocess.exe /v /c /noDirectives /i:”C:\Projects\MyProject\Deployment\PortBindingsMaster.xml” /o:”C:\Projects\MyProject\GeneratedBindings\OutputBinding.xml” /d:CurDir=”C:\Projects\MyProject” /s:”C:\Projects\MyProject\Deployment\EnvironmentSettings\Exported_ProdSettings.xml”

The generated environment (Local, QA, PRD, …) is defined in xml file path after the “/s” parameter.

Hope this helps.
