BAM Portal install on Vista
I have just upgraded to Vista and installed R2. Everything seems to be ok, except that I am unable to configure the BAM Portal and that stops my configuring EDI & AS2. The system complains that the default web site is not valid.
Failed to validate BAM Portal Web Site (BAMPortal)
Additional information:
The BAM Portal website Default Web Site is not valid.
(Microsoft.BizTalk.Bam.CfgExtHelper.PortalHelper)
Unknown error (0x80005000) (System.DirectoryServices)
How can I see what's wrong with the web site ?

Richard, if you are interested in using only EDI/AS2, just configure BAM Tools feature of BTS 2006 R2 - you don't need to configure BAM Analysis services and BAM Alerts - just configuring the BAM Primary Import Db and BAM Archive Db would allow you to get past this road block in configuring EDI/AS2 for BTS 2006 R2.
The config log file in your users temp folder might have more information on the failure you are getting for BAM portal.

I have the same problem.
You have already fixed the problem ?
- Sorry, as I only use Vista on my laptop, getting BAM to work in that environment has a low priority and keeps getting postponned.
Doesn't the BAM Portal depend on Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS) that is only available on Windows 2003? I don't think that the BAM Portal will install on a Vista or XP machine using the localhost IIS.
As for BizTalk Server 2006, BAM Portal is based on ASP.NET 2 features and does not depend on WSS anymore.
I am running into the same error on Windows server 2008 any pointers?

Thanks.
- If the IIS6 Compatibility pack is not installed then installing that should solve the problem:
Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Internet Information Services -> Web Management Tools -> IIS 6 Management Compatibility
Check all under IIS 6 Management compatility and install (I guess Metabase compatibility is the one that is required but check all just in case)- Proposed As Answer byTalwar Monday, March 09, 2009 6:34 AM
- i have all the IIS 6 options installed and still get that error.
i've even tried removing the Web Server role, rebooting, reinstalling it with all the IIS 6 options and still get the same exception.
