This article was previously published under Q324467

SUMMARY

Microsoft does not recommend that you install the BizTalk Server Accelerator for RosettaNet version 2.0 on a BizTalk Server/Microsoft Windows 2000 Server cluster.

MORE INFORMATION

You should not install the BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 2.0 on a BizTalk Server/Windows 2000 Server cluster for the following reasons:
  • If you move the BizTalk Server Repository from the non-default location, the BizTalk Server Accelerator for RosettaNet 2.0 will not function correctly.
    When you install BizTalk on a cluster, best practices dictate that you move the BizTalk Server Repository from the default location to a common clustered location.
  • The BizTalk Server Accelerator for RosettaNet 2.0 was not written to take advantage of a clustered environment.
    Therefore, the program may not work reliably if you install it on a BizTalk cluster.
