Failed to deploy system assembly .." Microsoft.BizTalk.GlobalPropertySchemas.dll"

April 30, 2005 Leave a comment

This may occur when applying a BizTalk configuration file in silent or interactive mode. The full error (from the log in silent) is:

Failed to deploy system assembly "C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004\Microsoft.BizTalk.GlobalPropertySchemas.dll".

The rest of the error message is informative as well; giving you a hint on where to go:

“The network clients for the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) Network must have the remote clients/transactions option enabled. The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.”

This is a DTC issue; in this case, DTC isn’t properly configured on a non-local SQL Server. Help and troubleshooting will give you a text string containing “You must enable network clients DTC access before configuring BizTalk Server“. Check your installation steps and ensure you:

  • On the SQL Server, navigate to Component Services, Computers.
  • Right-click the My Computer icon and select Properties, MSDTC.
  • Click Security Configuration, Network DTC Access.
  • Ensure Network Clients is selected.

To save time, perform / confirm these steps on the BizTalk server as well. Failing to do so will generate a different error (which I’ll publish when I see it), but you may as well perform the steps on both servers at the same time to cover all bases.

I stay up-to-date on real products I use and review, and share my thoughts here. I apply the same lens when designing an architecture, product or when writing papers. I am always looking for ways that technology can create or enhance a business opportunity .. not just technology for technology's sake. My CV says: Seasoned technology executive, leveraging years of experience with enterprise and integration architectural patterns, executed with healthy doses of business acumen and pragmatism. That's me. My web site says: Technology innovations provide a myriad of opportunities for businesses. That said, having the "latest and greatest" for its own sake isn't always a recipe for success. Business successes gained through exploiting innovation relies on analysis of how the new features will enhance your business followed by effective implementation. Goals vary far and wide: streamlining operations, improving customer experience, extending brand, and many more. In all cases, you must identify and collect the metrics you can apply to measure your success. Analysis must be holistic and balanced: business and operational needs must be considered when capitalizing on a new technology asset or opportunity.
