I am running into a scenario, where our client sends the data as EDIFACT file via AS2 protocol and we have hosted our web application in windows server 2003 R2 Standard edition.
Now we want to read the incoming EDIFACT file from our Client via Biztalk server
I googled and found Biztalk 2010 supports AS2 protocol, but we are forced to install biztalk 2006 R2 as we are running Windows server 2003
So could anybody tell me whether Biztalk server 2006 (R2) supports AS2 protocol? If no, then is there any alternative like patches or service pack?
Thanks in advance

Yes, BizTalk Server 2006 R2 supports AS2 out of the box.
There are some Tutorials you can use to understand how BizTalk Server supports AS2. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb259975(v=bts.20).aspx
Of course, I must recommend you use a more current version, BizTalk Server 2010 at least. BizTalk Server 2006 R2 is at or nearing the end of it's support lifecycle.

I have installed ASP .NET 2.0 MVC3, SQL server express 2005 and SQL server Management studio express 2005 and IIS 7 in my system. If I am opening the install_btnet file, and providing the SQL server details also it is not getting connect. It is giving error as Service unavailable. Any one suggest me how to install Bug tracker .NET tool in my system with examples.
Thank you.
First thing to check it that your SQL 2005 express instance is running and allowing remote connections. Open the Administrative Tools >> Services and look for the service called "MSSQLSERVER$SQLEXPRESS" and ensure it is started.
Next, open the SqlServer Configuration Utility (on the server or PC where SQL 2005 Express is Installed) Look for the Client Configuration Option and Select "Client Protocols".
Set TCP/IP to "Enabled" and you should now be able to connect to your SQL server.
Note that even if your BugTracker.NET install is on the same machine, it may still be using the network to connect to your SQL Instance.
Hope this helps,
Dave
We are currently working on an BizTalk solution that should return binary data as a XOP attachement through an webservice request. BizTalk have MTOM support through WCF adapters, but I can't figure out if BizTalk also supports XOP?
(I found an blog post on BizTalk attachment patterns, but that not give me the preferred solution)
We are using BizTalk 2006 R2, Visual Studio 2005
does anyone know if this can be done? I can find Windows Server 2003 but not 2008.
I read you can create your own EC2 Virtual machines, but I haven't found any articles that say you can do this with Windows Server 2008.
I'm really after IIS7, but I'd also intend to use SQL Server Express 2008 until such time as I can add support for SimpleDB or maybe fire up a seperate SQL Server instance.
I also have some Windows Services which run. Which puts shared hosting out the window mostly. Yes there's Azure but I think that would involve more effort than I want to spend initially.
Any help much appreciated,
My current stack is
Windows Server 2008
IIS7
.Net 3.5 SP1
Asp.net MVC
Some Windows Services
Linq2Sql
SQL Server Express 2008
You can now!
Amazon revealed Windows Server 2008 availability in december 2009 and there are pre-build AMIs ready for use either with or without Sql Server 2008.
See their Windows information page for more info about pricing and such. The Windows & .NET Developer Center is also a useful resource.
Amazon EC2 does not currently support any Windows besides Windows 2003.

Yes you can!
Using either QEmu or VirtualBox on top of a bare-bone linux server
as for the QEmu option you may start here.
Guides for VirtualBox are available everywhere, simply Google for them
I'm in the process of looking for a dedicated server to host my soon to be released web apps. THey are build with ASP.NEt and uses Sql Server 2005. I've got a great deal with a company for a Intel Core2Quad Q9300 with 8Gb or ram and 750Gb sata.
They offer me Windows 2003 64 Standard or Windows 2008 64 Web for free, which one should I choose?
My main concern is about the database, in the first moment I'm going to have only one box to host both the web and database layer. Will I be able to install SQL Server (initially the express edition, then eventually the standard) on the Web version of Windows 2008?
If you can get Server 2008, i'd go with it because IIS7 is an excellent Upgrade to IIS6.
SQL Server Standard 2008 64-Bit is officially supported on Windows 2008 Web Server. SQL Server Enterprise 2008 64-Bit is NOT (not sure if it does work and is only not listed. 32-Bit Enterprise is listed, but running 32-Bit on a modern server does not sound appealing). See System Requirements here for a full list of SQL Server 2008 Editions and supported Servers.
Not sure about SQL Server 2005, there seems to be a patch needed.
You can run SQL Server on Server 2008 Web Edition (this is a change from Server 2003 Web Edition). The main limitations I am aware of between Web and Standard for 2008 is Web cannot do any kind of virtualization, Active Directory or DNS management, etc. It is intended to be essentially an application server.
I would recommend the newer OS, since it comes with IIS7 and the enhanced TCP/IP (among other things).
If its free, go for the standard version. Here is a comparison of the features:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/compare-features.aspx
I've never noticed any performance differences in the versions, so might as well get features you might use someday. Expensive to upgrade later.
You can run the SQL on either one.
I'm currently looking for a webhost that offers Windows 2008 virtual or dedicated hosting for my ASP.NET app. On dedicated hosting you pay a monthly fee for Windows, I noticed there's a noticeable difference in cost between the web edition and the standard edition, so, my question is:
Does the standard edition come with MS Exchange? If so, is there any reliable equivalent in the web edition?
Thanks
No version of Windows Server 2008 OS (Web, Standard, Enterprise) comes with Exchange. They all have basic outgoing smtp capabilities but if your want imap, pop3, or webmail you need to look for a 3rd party product.
A popular free mail server is SmarterMail
As far as I know the web edition is only for hosting web sites. It does not include any mail server like exchange. It should have an smtp server and should be able to accept mail, but nothing like Exchange.
It might be possible to install a mail server on web edition, but I don't have enough knowledge to know for sure.
In past versions you could not install sql server on the web edition. I am not sure if that has changed.
Another good free email server is hMailServer. I've been using it, and its greylisting feature has really cut down on spam. However, I don't know if this will run on the web edition of Windows Server.
I just read on the SmartTools forum that SmarterMail will run on the web edition.
Does anything know the purpose of getting the Standard Edition of Server 2008 over the Web Edition? I am hosting ASP.NET websites with MySQL 5, SmarterMail and SmarterStats, and need 4 GB min of memory. Will the Web Edition work for this? Just want to make sure it doesn't block ports or anything. I read on another site that they don't allow you to run a mail server on the web edition. The price difference between the two is huge.
