Problem

========

When running PSSDiagForBizTalk in a BizTalk cluster which is
not SQL cluster(no SQL server resource in the cluster), the following error is
reported:

2011/02/25 15:14:35.48 PSSDIAG Error enumerating virtual
servers. Is your SQL Server instance clustered?

2011/02/25 15:14:35.48 PSSDIAG Error retrieving servers from
the configuration file. Aborting. Please see Microsoft Knowledge
Base article 906532 for more information

Cause

========

PSSDiagForBizTalk tool tries to retrieve the SQL server
cluster resource from the BizTalk cluster and it fails with the above error.

Solution

========

Open pssdiag.ini, change the section [.] to
[BizTalk_Machine_NetBios_Name]. For example, one node of the BizTalk cluster
netbios name is birdgun, the section could be changed to [birdgun] when run the
tool on this node. This makes the tool skips the steps to enumerate the cluster
resources and continue to run.
