SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to delete a BizTalk Server from the BizTalk Server Group in the BizTalk Server Administration Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, you may receive the following error message:

The server cannot be deleted because of a failure returned from the BizTalk Server WMI provider: The MACHINENAME server cannot be deleted because it is the processing server for at least one receive function.
