BizTalk Admin Console not responding when loading configuration

Hi All,

I have a BizTalk 2013 R2 test environment which has separate BizTalk and SQL servers.
Due to something went wrong with the BizTalk server so I built another BizTalk
server and joined the same BizTalk group and I also moved the master secret
server to the new BizTalk server. I removed the old BizTalk server from the
group and shut the old server down.

But when I am using the new server to load the configuration for any receive or send ports,
the MMC gave me the "this snap-in is not responding" alert and if I canceled the alerts a couple of times, the configuration info can be loaded.  The admin console is fast when not loading configuration though.

Does anybody have any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

You can use the diagnose tool - BizTalk360, and check whether it can give some hints why this happens.

Best regards,

Angie

This issue could be because of many reasons. Work on the below pointers.

1) I would suggest you to start with performing BizTalk Repair to avoid any registry issues, because in most of the cases Admin console related issues are solved by BizTalk repair only.

2) Check if SQL Server and MSDTC service is running properly.

As a Last option collect DebugDiag logs and try to analyze the same.

Every time I started the old BizTalk server I shut down before, the new server is working OK. 

Finally found out the reason through this link http://microsoft.public.biztalk.general.narkive.com/LlzIwd8R/trouble-moving-sso-master-secret-server 

Right click BizTalk Group and click properties, changed the SSO server name to the new server, everything is working OK now.

Thanks everyone for your input.
