CAUSE

BizTalk Server is designed to work with a local BizTalk Server Administrators group. This local group is created by BizTalk Server Setup. A local BizTalk Server Administrators group cannot be created on a domain controller because domain controllers do not maintain local groups. Domain controllers maintain only domain groups.

RESOLUTION

Do not install BizTalk Server on a domain controller. Installation of Microsoft BizTalk Server on a domain controller is not a supported configuration.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
