Special thanks and credits go out to:

Peter Borremans, who wrote the following article which got me going

Jeremie de Villard, I used his adapted BizTalk Configuration Tool and Task-Schedule script to auto-configure BizTalk

Scott Banwart, I used his powershell script as basis for configuring the BizTalk Hosts, Host Instances and Adapters

Please note; the scripts are as is; go ahead and play with it. Most definitely you can clean it up more and make it more efficient 😉 If you make any modifications, feel free but be nice and SHARE!! 🙂
