I have used below code to get host instances and restart its working on power shell command prompt but not working

through  script ,it getting local server host instances not remote biztalk server group

Enter-pssession -computername 16 -configurationname microsoft.powershell32

Remove-PSSnapin -Name BizTalkfactory.PowerShell.Extensions;

Add-PSSnapin -Name BizTalkfactory.PowerShell.Extensions;

set-location Biztalk:

set-location 'Platform Settings';

set-location 'Host Instances'

write-host "Getting all host instances from 16 machine"

Get-ChildItem

Can you try the following (normal PS, nothing to do with the BizTalk provider):

Please verify first, that computer 16 don't have any other Services than your Host Instances starting with the "BTS" prefix :-)

I have to restart based on the condition like I have to restart only the host instances stopped .

Get-ChildItem |Where-Object { $_.ServiceState -eq 'Stopped' } |Start-HostInstance

Try following script...It will you state of the host instance...

Invoke-Command -Session $s -ScriptBlock { param($filter) $HostInstance = get-wmiobject MSBTS_HostInstance -namespace 'root\MicrosoftBizTalkServer' -filter $filter

$HostInstanceState = $HostInstance.GetState().State 

 ($HostInstanceState # 1=Stopped, 2=Start pending, 3=Stop pending, 4=Running, 8=Unknown )

 $HostInstance.start() (for restarting stooped ones)

i think that helps.let me know if you need more..

Thanks.

This script is only execute on  biztalk installed machine but my requirement is configure all scripts in application server.Biztalk server is not installed on this application server.

what we are doing is we are using jenikns job to restart host instances using the above script.

Yes you can restart from applciation server.For that you need estabilsh remote session and inside the session you will run this scripts.It will work..

please drop me your email ID i can send you comeplete script.

Thanks.

Sorry For the late reply...i sent you just now..

My issue is resolved:

Solution:

I have used invoke-Command to run the Powershell script in a remote session on the BizTalk server. The script could create the PSDrive, browse it

and create items as expected.
