SYMPTOMS
When you reference SQL Server names or BizTalk Server names in the BizTalk Server environment, you must always use the NetBIOS computer name, or the following error messages may occur.

In SQL Server, if a DNS name is entered for any of the SQL Server names, the following OLEDB error message occurs:

String Data, Right truncation Sql error 80004005 Source OLEDB Provider SQL ErrorInfo 22001

In BizTalk Server 2000, if a DNS name is entered for any of the BizTalk Server names, the BTSservice fails to start, the following error message occurs in the Event log:

Initial Loading of the configuration cache from the database failed. Creating the Queue Scheduler for the service failed. The service failed to start, please ensure that this server is enlisted in a Microsoft Biz Talk Server group.



CAUSE
When you are determining which group the BizTalk Server belongs in, a search is done by using the NetBIOS computer name. BizTalk Server 2000 does not recognize that the server belongs to any group when you use a DNS name or IP address. BizTalk Server only supports the use of NetBIOS computer names.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
SQL Server allows you to set up an alias through the SQL Server client, which maps to the DNS name.
