Welcome
Welcome to the BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Beta 2 Discussion Forums. BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Beta 2 is an unsupported beta, however we hope that we will have collaborative forums driven by the community.
Our commitment to you is that we will answer questions whenever we can, and we will attempt to point you to the appropriate resources when we can't.
What is expected of you in the community:
·Search before you post.
·If a post helps you out, mark it as helpful so that it can rise to the top of searches.
·If someone answers your question, mark the response as an answer. If there are multiple helpful responses, mark all of them as answers.
·If someone asks a question that you know the answer to, post the answer! It doesn't have to be definitive; pointing someone in the right direction can be good enough.
We hope that our community will start using these forums to interact with the Product Group and with each other. Forums provide a great channel to share your knowledge with the community. Some useful features include:
·You can tag answers. When you go to browse the site for an answer to your question, you can see what threads have information that might be useful to you.
·Information is archived for seven years—not 30 days. This means that every week, we’re adding many answers into an ever-growing Q&A database.
·Passport authentication. We can assign moderation to the community easily. User profiles can carry over to other Microsoft communities.
·Discoverability. MSN, Google, Yahoo…they all turn up forum information in searches.
·No client to configure.
·We are able to expose the forums in ways that weren’t possible with the newsgroups. Has anyone ever noticed that the help menu of Visual Studio 2005 actually searches the forums for answers?http://blogs.msdn.com/jledgard/archive/2005/12/14/503723.aspx
·RSS feeds are available for the forums.
I hope that we can work together to make our forums successful!
