Re: Biztalk development enviornment

Ginny,
You don't HAVE to have BTS on each development workstation, but it really really helps. If you have a team of BizTalkers sharing a server and they need to keep restarting host instances because of changes to an orchestration, or if they are debugging in HAT, they can get in each others way. We install BTS on the devbox. This also makes it easier for them to deploy changes while they are writing code, since deploying and GAC'ing to the local server is a lot easier than GAC'ing into a remote server.

We usually remote desktop into the remote BTS server so that we can use HAT, and the admin console. I think the admin console is just an MMC plugin, so you should be able to do it remotely. You would probably need to install the BTS Admin tools on that workstation, and then make sure the user is in the right Domain Group to access the BizTalk server as an admin.

needs to be done? suppose i have 10 team mebers, do i need to install

console of some other server??
