I am not able to schedule the BizTalk interfaces in BizTalk 2016. The Service window recurrence section which appears below service window section is not visible. How can I make it visible. I have also installed the BizTalk scheduled task adapter and also BizTalk CU8 is also installed.
Please install the Feature Pack 1 or newer than for BizTalk2016 then only you can get this property.
Please refer below Microsoft Doc to understand it properly,

I'm looking for the way to restart build agent with powershell script. If anyone knows the way in c# that's fine I can translate.
I know I can easily restart Build Service with two lines of code.
Pointing me in right direction is all I need.
I don't believe there is a way to programmatically restart the 2012 build agent. If your build agent is set to autostart you could reboot the box using PowerShell.
There isn't any way to do this via TFS API. SetBuildAgentStatus is used to set the build agent status to following: Available, Offline and Unavailable.
While saving a workflow using SharePoint designer on a SharePoint site, I get the following error:
Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
Steps to recreate error:
Login to the WFE server hosting IIS and workflow manager, open SharePoint Designer 2013 and login to a SharePoint site.
Access the list using SharePoint Designer 2013, in the workflow section, click new workflow.
In the new workflow dialog, enter workflow details, click save
Error message is displayed as below:
Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
After restarting SharePoint Designer, the saved workflow is not seen in the site/workflows or list/workflow section.
Workaround
When the above steps are repeated while accessing the site via SPD from any other box besides the WFE/Workflow manager host server, the error is not encountered and its possible to save/publish workflows.
Notes
Workflow Manager 1.0 is installed.
The site has been registered with Workflow manager using Register-SPWorkflowService cmdlet.
Any clue on why is this happening?
Copy Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.Activities.Proxy.dll assembly to WebsiteCache folder (%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache{Site Name}\15.0.0.4745)

Experienced with Windows 8.1
During setup/configuration of a remote SharePoint Server on Windows Server 2008 R2, I managed to install Workflow Manager on my client Windows 8 machine while following instructions erroneously as I was supposed to do this on the server.
I accomplished what was necessary with Workflow Manager on the server, but never removed this from my workstation client. After searching through google a ton, I kept finding this page and eventually realized the fix:
Since workflow manager is designed for server edition of Windows, this simply shouldn't be on your client that you are attempting to use SharePoint Designer on to create workflows with.
I was using SharePoint Online with SharePoint Designer 2013 and ran in to this issue when trying to create a workflow. I uninstalled the Workflow Manager as recommended and it started working. Workflow Manager was most likely installed when I installed Visual Studio 2015. I am on Windows 10.
Update WorkflowManager and WorkflowManagerClient to CU4
Uninstall Visual Studio
Uninstall SPD
Deactivate Distributed Cache
Delete WebApplications (Except Central Admin)
Run CMD commands:
cd "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache"
del *.web /S /Q "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache"
cd "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\"
rmdir /S /Q "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache."
mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache"
dir "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache"
dir "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache"
Run iisreset
Restart VM
Create Web Application
Install SPD
Execute iisreset
Restart VM
Open SPD
Go to "Options > Application Options > General Tab" and let -only
the following- boxes checked: "Show status bar" and "Show catalog
lists and system objects" > OK > OK
Open the site via SPD
Create new Workflow 2013 via SPD
Thats what I did. Hope it helps.
I faced the same issues. The workarround was to install sharepoint designer on another machine than the host machine where sharepoint, workflow manager and visual studio is installed. That fixed the issue, however i faced other problems later, specially with workflow 2013, specially when trying to save them as workflow templates, or publish them as global workflows. So i tried to fix the original issue in order to avoid differences between both environements and to be sure to have the right permissions. After long days i found another workarround for my problem:
When comparing the folders
user profile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\sitename\version of both environements, i figured out that there were a lot of dll's missing on de developement machine. So I have copied them from the working machine, then i was able to edit workflows 2013 on the buggy machine.
By updating the SharePoint designer you can resolve this issue. Click on the link and follow all the steps mentioned on the blog.
1 Install Microsoft sharepoint designer service pack 1
2 install the update for the sharepoint designer
Enjoy it will work.
Your answer is here
New to SCCM 2012 and have a lot of applications with msi's that I am creating applications for. I've also been able to create a few applications with exe's. Is the only reason to use a package, if you need to run multiple programs or apps in succession?
One of the reasons to use a package vs application model is handling configuration outside of the MSI / EXE. Say for instance, your MSI / EXE does everything but it doesn't set any of the configuration items like the license information, or which server you need to connect to. Now most of these things can be handled via a custom action within your MST (Transform) by using Installshield, but if you have an executable it gets a bit more complicated because there isn't really anyway to "hook" into the installer to provide additional configuration items.
I'm looking for best practice in continuous delivery of windows services.
Currently we hava a set of powershell scripts that unintall, reboot, install updates but error handling is tricky. We are reviewing System center but are there any other options available for deploying a windows service?
We've been using Presto since Dec 2011, and have done over 1,000 deployments. Most of what we deploy are Windows services.
What's nice is that we set up our apps and servers in Presto, then we can repeatedly deploy, to any server (or multiple servers at once), by just hitting a button. Presto will copy our official release binaries, update all of the items in our app config files, create and start the service, etc...
So, if you have an application that has 30 manual steps to deploying it, you can enter these steps in Presto, then it's done automatically for you after that.
It's worth a look: http://presto.codeplex.com/
Your most basic and generally accepted best option comes from this thread, which basically links to a Microsoft support article on creating an installer for the windows service.
I'm having a problem with Wix Service as the service cannot be started during install progress. It throws the error:
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
I've tried with both [WIX_ACCOUNT_LOCALSYSTEM] and [WIX_ACCOUNT_LOCALSERVICE] but no one of them work.
But there is weird here as I have an installer which using ClickOne, it includes the same service component as the one I have been using in Wix. The ClickOne installs service just fine (using InstallUtil.exe), so it proves the account has right to start a service.
Then, I uninstall the software (installed by ClickOne), and running the Wix installer again, the service starts well now. I don't know the reason why?
I'd like to put some flows for more clearly:
1- On a fresh machine
2- Running Wix software installer --> the service cannot be started and throwing error message --> Cancel install
3- Running ClickOne software installer --> service starts well --> Uninstalling software
4- Running Wix software installer --> service starts well
Also note that, I've tried 2 times on 2 fresh machines but it's the same. Anyone can shed some light on this weird behavior? Or anything I should verify against?
Thanks in advance,
Thank you #Stephen Connolly, #Alexey Ivanov, #Cosmin Pirvu for your comments.
I'd like to add your comments above as the answer.
Using CheckAsm, a great tool to verify the assembly dependencies
Looking at the log information in Event Viewer for anything could stop the service starting (i.e. timeout, services dependency ...)
Verifying all stuffs would be needed for service operations. They should be available once installation completed (i.e. configuration, registry, working folder ...)
If the installer is installing files to the GAC using the Windows Installer tables, the dependencies won't be available when the installer runs the StartServices action
