BizTalk Server can be installed and run on a Windows 2000 Terminal 
Server–based computer. However, there are some limits to how well 
BizTalk Server will work on a Terminal Server computer. Be aware of the 
following points when running BizTalk Server on a Terminal Server 
computer:
• BizTalk Server 2000 cannot be installed from a remote Terminal Server 
connection. The authentication that is performed during installation 
fails from a remote Terminal Server connection.
• Terminal Server services must be run in Administration Mode, not 
Application Mode.
• A user with the necessary permission to run the BizTalk Server 
service must be logged on to the server console. BizTalk Server 
installs a COM+ package designated to run as the Interactive User. If 
there is no Interactive User, which means there is no one logged on to 
the server console, then the COM+ package will fail. (This issue will 
be addressed in the upcoming beta release of BizTalk Server 2000.)
