Introduction
At one of our customers, I set up a BizTalk environment with several applications, like applications for warehouse, subsidiary and customer interfaces. Some of these applications also use 2 separate servers, one in the internal network, and one in the DMZ network. These servers have completely different ports; for example. the DMZ server has ports connected to the outside world, which aren’t present on the internal server. Also, some applications are dependent on others, so deploying and undeploying has to be done in a specific order. To make this easy, I have set up a fully automatic BizTalk build and deployment setup. This is done by using PowerShell in combination with the BizTalk Deployment Framework. For my own reference, as well as for helping others set up an automated BizTalk deployment, I wrote this document. A basic understanding of BizTalk and PowerShell is needed to work with these examples. Special thanks go out to the blog of Randy Paulo.
