Integrating to the max...BizTalk Style

I recently faced this not so welcome friend of mine. This was the case on mine development environment consisting of: - separate BizTalk machine + separate SQL Server I could track down the source of this message being an atomic scope with a timeout of 60 seconds (receive shape waiting for a web service response). Since the error was pretty clear i finally found the cause….please take note of this for future generations ;) The SQL Server machine clock was advanced 2 minutes compared to the BizTalk server running the orchestrations Therefore the orchestration was ‘running in the past’ forcing a time-out in the atomic scope shape. Somehow the time synchronisation service was not doing it’s job. I fixed the issue by using the ‘w32tm’ command line tool. “w32tm /resync” (force the machine to resync the windows time using the PDC time) Note: to view the difference between the current machine and the PDC you can you the monitor parameter; “w32tm /monitor”
