INTRODUCTION
The Microsoft BizTalk Server installation and the BizTalk databases in Microsoft SQL Server contain domain-specific information. The following actions are not supported:
 * Moving an existing BizTalk installation from one domain to another domain
 * Moving the databases associated with an existing BizTalk installation from one domain to another domain



MORE INFORMATION
When you move an existing server, you must use the ConfigFramework /u command to completely unconfigure BizTalk before you migrate to the new domain.

This command removes the current configuration and the existing BizTalk Server databases. Once you are in the new domain, you must run the Configuration Wizard to reconfigure BizTalk Server to create a new group that has a new set of databases.
