BizTalk Best Practice Analyzer v1.1 RTM
"The BizTalk Server 2006 Best Practices Analyzer performs configuration-level verification by reading and reporting only. The Best Practices Analyzer gathers data from different information sources, such as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes, SQL Server databases, and registry entries. The Best Practices Analyzer uses the data to evaluate the deployment configuration. The Best Practices Analyzer does not modify any system settings, and is not a self-tuning tool."

BizTalk Architecture, High Availability and MSMQ Adapters


Muhammed Ismail's Blog: MSMQ vs. MSMQT
"...there are some disadvantages to MSMQT as well, these include:

Poor performance, MSMQT is single threaded. In high volume scenarios, this could cause messages to be processed quite slowly.

  • Not all MSMQ features are implemented in MSMQT (remember that MSMQT emulates MSMQ, so it's not identical). In particular most of the MSMQ v3.0 features (such as MSMQ over HTTP) are not available

  • No published APIs for programtic use

  • MSMQT is only used by BizTalk. MSMQ on a BizTalk computer could also be shared with other applications.

    2008-11-13 Update:
    Pete Klein (Director of Connected Systems )with Neudesic sent me a message today suggesting another resource link:
    BizTalk Server Database Optimization.

    Pete is a great resource to call on for BizTalk implementation help.
