You can download this tool to help you debug orchestrations:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/DebugView.html

You can put an expression shape in your orchestration designer and write some information (by using System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine()) out that will be catched by this tool. For example:

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(System.DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString());

A must read!

I was installing BizTalk on Win XP sp2 machine when I got this message. I didn't understand what it meant. Then I found the solution on the net. Here is the procedure:

1. Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc
2. Click Computer Configuration
3. Click Administrative Templates
4. Click System
5. Click Remote Procedure Calls
6. Click on RPC Endpoint Mapper Client Authentication
7. A new window opens. Enable this service.

That's it!

Also make sure that your firewall and antivirus are TURNED OFF BEFORE you start configuring BizTalk (ConfigureFramework.exe).
