Set Send Handler Property (BizTalk Server Sample)

The Set Send Handler Property sample demonstrates how to set the XML configuration information for a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) send handler.

Warning

Deployment scripts should be removed after deployment if not needed. Administration scripts and other scripts that must remain should be secured by ACL’s and closely monitored.

What This Sample Does

The Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) script in the script file that constitutes this sample shows how to perform the following operations using the BizTalk Server WMI provider:

  • Given a send handler name, query for a list of matching send handlers.

  • Set the XML configuration information for an SMTP send handler.

  • Handle any errors such that meaningful information is returned to the user.

Running This Sample

To run the Set Send Handler Property sample

  1. In a command window, navigate to the following folder:
