Is BizTalk Server 2010 supported by Windows 10? - biztalk

I'm unable to find anywhere online where it states that BizTalk Server 2010 is supported/not supported fully by Windows 10.

No, not even BizTalk 2013 R2 is supported on Windows 10 as can be seen at Summary of 64-bit support, operating systems and SQL Server versions supported by BizTalk Server and also
Hardware and Software Requirements for BizTalk Server 2013 and 2013 R2 as it is not listed on either page as a supported operating system.
There is a related question about BizTalk 2013 R2 and windows 10 called BizTalk Server Configuration failing to create group. The conclusion for that is, yes you can run BizTalk 2013 R2 on Windows 10, but as per a answer and comments there it probably will not be supported by Microsoft for a Production environment and could break with updates and patches applied to the operating system.

No, not directly but that shouldn't matter because running BizTalk Server on any client OS is never the best option.
Yes, you can run BizTalk Server 2010 in a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM using Client Hyper-V. You need Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise but this would be the best way to do it even if the client OS supported it directly.

TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 in windows server 2012 r2

My question is simple. My server's operating system is Windows Server 2012 r2 and all updates were made on it.
When I run the iiscrypto I couldn't find TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 cipher suite. To find this, should I use Windows server 2016 or is there another way to get it?
Microsoft has a docs page that lists all the Windows versions and their cipher suites.
First server version to support this cipher suite is indeed Windows Server 2016.
Unfortunately Windows 2012 Server doesn't support tls-ecdhe-rsa-with-aes-256-gcm-sha384 or 256/128 Ciphers.

BizTalk Server Configuration failing to create group

I'm trying to configure a BizTalk server in BizTalk Server 2013 R2. I'm using Windows 10 and a local DB.
I can create the Enterprise SSO and the Business Rule Engine but not the BizTalk Server Group and the BizTalk Runtime.
It gives me the following error:
Failed to read "Software\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\3.0\Administration" from the registry.
The network path was not found.
I've tried everything I could imagine, any ideas as why I can't create the group?
EDIT: After trying everything I could imagine, the problem was in the name of my machine that was too big. Because of that, BizTalk could not write in the registry.
BizTalk Server 2013 R2 is not supported on Windows 10.
You can look this up in the official BizTalk Server documentation, which you can find here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj248697.aspx
Supported for BizTalk Server 2013 R2 are: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 SP1.
Windows 10 is not supported.
After trying everything I've searched on the web, I finally managed to solved the problem.
Because my machine name was too long (15 characters), BizTalk could not edit the registry. After changing it to 4 characters long, I solved the problem and I was able configure the server.

Does the BizTalk 2010 BtsAsmExt.dll work with Server 2008 R2?

Does the BizTalk 2010 BtsAsmExt.dll work with Server 2008 R2?
Followed the instructions at MSDN but the screen shots look to be Windows XP, as it talking about "My Computer"
The install by regsvr32 BtsAsmExt.dll worked Ok
Probably not. While BTAV is still shipped, it suffers from two significant deficiencies:
It is not supported on 64-bit systems.
It does not support the .Net 4.0 GAC.
BizTalk Server 2010 is .Net 4.0 based so because of item 2, any BizTalk 2010 Assemblies you build/deploy would not be visible to BTAV.

Websocket issue with IIS 8 Express on Windows 7

I tried creating handler for web socket but context.IsWebSocketRequest is returning always false and failed to working with IIS 8 Express on windows 7.
How can I enable module for websocket or any step I missing? I have VS 2012 application with IIS Express dynamic url.
Please help for the same.
The WebSocket protocol needs to be enabled in IIS 8 (see http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/csharp/programming-html5-web-sockets-in-asp.net-4.5.htm). Additionally, I'm not sure web sockets is supported on Windows 7. I've only seen that Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 are required.
The short answer is, you can write applications against WebSockets in Windows 7 using IIS 8 Express, but you can't actually test them. It requires Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012.
From the IIS 8.0 Express ReadMe:
WebSocket Support
IIS 8.0 Express supports writing WebSocket applications. For more information, see the WebSocket protocol specification or the System.Net.WebSockets Namespace topic on Microsoft's MSDN website.
Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 features that do not work on Down-Level Operating Systems
There are a few features which require architecture that is specific
to Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 Client that will not work
down-level when you install IIS 8.0 Express on earlier operating
systems:
Server Name Indication (SNI)
Central Certificate Store
WebSocket Functionality
Then, from the System.Net.WebSockets MSDN entry (emphasis mine):
Some of the classes in the System.Net.WebSockets namespace are supported on Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, and Windows Server 2008. However, the only public implementations of client and server WebSockets are supported on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. The classes and class elements in the System.Net.WebSockets namespace that are supported on Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, and Windows Server 2008 are abstract classes. This allows an application developer to inherit and extend these abstract classes with an actual implementation of client WebSockets.

BizTalk Server BAM Portal on x64 Windows 2008/IIS 7.0

We are attempting to install BizTalk Server 2006 R2 on a fresh server with x64 Windows 2008. The basic configuration is complaining that the “Default Web Site” we select for the BAM Portal installation is not validated due to “IIS is not 32-bit enabled.” Despite setting the appPool (Classic mode) 32-bit property to True, BizTalk configuration wizard is still complaining.
Has anybody successfully installed BAM Portal in 64-bit IIS 7.0?
It looks like Microsoft’s official statement is Biztalk Server 2006 R2 with Windows 2008 is “not supported”. BizTalk Server 2009 is the one that is meant to be married to Windows 2008.
UPDATE, MOFE INFO
I should additionally comment that the process of setting up a multiple servers for a BizTalk Group requires configuration of network COM+ and DTC access, of which Windows 2008 interface of doing so differs from Windows 2003. In fact, I haven't found how to configure MSDTC in Windows 2008 as required by BizTalk 2006. Failing to properly configure this will prevent some of the databases from being created properly in a remote SQL Server due to transactional failure.
BizTalk 2006 R2 will not be supported on Windows 2008 and this will not change going forward, if you wish to get this configuration working you will need BizTalk 2009.
I've managed to install/configure BAM with no problems in W2008/x64.
What I can't seem to do is getting the BAM portal to work, however. Without x32 compat enabled in the app pool, I get an expected assembly loading error. With x32 app compat enabled, I just get blank pages in the web, even when adding a static .html page to the site.
