Hi

This is sort of a repost of my previous posting, but I think the
problem is better explained in this one.

I have a windows 2003 cluster with two machines, SKADB01 and SKADB02.
There are two clusternames that both contain these two machines:
SKABIZCLU (For Microsoft BizTalk Server) and SKADBCLU for SQL Server.

Both are Active/Passive clusters. Usually, the SQL Server cluster runs
on one machine and the BizTalk cluster runs on the other machine.

If SQL Server runs on SKADB02, then everything runs just fine nomatter
which machine BizTalk runs on. There is only one MSDTC ressource and
it is in the BizTalk cluster group. "Enable Network DTC Access" is
installed on both machines.

If SQL Server runs on SKADB01, on the other hand, I seem to be getting
an "Invalid Class String" error when the BizTalk Adapter for SQL
Server is trying to put data into tables.

All I have been able to find on the big Net is that some DTS package
isn't installed, so I should install SQL Server client tools on both
machines. But, as you might have understood, the client tools as well
as the server are installed on both machines. So it must be something
else.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

This is yet another repost, because I found out that if I signed up
for managed newsgroups at the MSDN site, I am guaranteed an answer
within two businessdays... Quite clever, actually.

So, to Microsoft: If you have any ideas about my below mentioned
problem, please let me know.

Except that I don't think that this is a managed newsgroup. I don't see this
one listed under Enterprise Development/SQL Server on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed/. In addition to that, I
believe that the first post in the thread has to come from an MSDN
registered email address so even if there were MSDN engineers in here, they
probably wouldn't find this thread.

And finally, I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to your question. Please
email your MVP Lead and ask John to open a support case for you.

Hi

Thank you for your answer.

I have failed to find a list of managed newsgroups - the link you
provided seems to be to a page where I can search in the managed
newsgroups?!?

Not sure whether this is off-track..

I followed the link to the managed news groups provided by Steven and
searched for "Invalid Class String" against ALL categories. If found this
series of posts! It therefore appears that the "managed" newsgroups are
probably super-sets made up of news groups such as
"microsoft.public.sqlserver.clustering".

I don't know if there is a simple list of the managed newsgroups. I seem to
recall one at some point, but I can't find it either. However, that page
that I sent you, http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed/, has all the
SQL Server managed newsgroups listed. Hover over Enterprise Development in
the left navigation pane, then hover over SQL Server when it expands. The
resultant list shows the 13 SQL Server managed newsgroups. I don't see
..clustering listed. I'll go check with the MSDN folks to make sure, but I
think that's all there is. We're in the process of adding .reportingsvcs to
that list, but it's not finalized yet.

I suspect that the web interface simply isn't smart enough to not query the
unmanaged newsgroups as well, but I'll go check.

OK, I've confirmed that this is an unmanaged newsgroup. Here is the list of
all SQL Server managed newsgroups:

microsoft.public.sqlserver.clients

Yep, we've filed a bug on the fact that even though you specify to search in
the managed newsgroups it searches all of them. Oops...
