How to Restore the Certificate Store

As a part of recovering BizTalk Server, you must restore the certificate store. If you are recovering BizTalk Server Standard Edition, you must use this procedure to restore the certificate store. You do not need to perform this procedure when recovering all other editions of BizTalk Server because the recovery process automatically restores the certificate store for you.

Prerequisites

You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to perform this procedure.

To restore the certificate store (BizTalk Server Standard Edition)

1. Click Start, click All Programs, and then click Internet Explorer.
