SUMMARY

Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 is fully supported when it is installed on a supported operating system that is running on Microsoft Virtual Server 2005. Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 may not perform as expected if you have installed BizTalk Server 2004 on a supported operating system that is running on a virtual machine (VM) other than Virtual Server 2005. BizTalk Server 2004 has not been tested on operating systems that are running on VMs other than Microsoft Virtual Server 2005.

MORE INFORMATION

Product support for BizTalk Server 2004 that is running on a VM other than Virtual Server 2005 is provided as commercially reasonable support. Commercially reasonable support is defined as all reasonable support efforts by Microsoft Product Support Services that do not require BizTalk Server 2004 code fixes.

If you experience a problem in BizTalk Server 2004 on a VM other than Virtual Server 2005, and the problem cannot be resolved through commercially reasonable support, the problem must be reproducible in a non-VM environment or on Virtual Server 2005 for the problem to be escalated to the BizTalk Server Product group as a bug.
