ESB Configuration Tool: The Specified Directory Service Attribute Or Value Does Not Exist

Question

I'm trying to configure ESB Exception Management (ESB Toolkit 2.1) and after successfully creating the ESBExceptionDB I try to configure the Exception Web Services.

When I press Apply Configuration I get the error message "The Specified Directory Service Attribute Or Value Does Not Exist".

Error log:

EsbConfigurationTool.exe Error: 0 : An error has occurred: 
The specified directory service attribute or value does not exist.

Stack Trace:

What am I missing?

Answer 1

I ended up creating the applications in IIS manually and it seems to work.

I created these application pools:

• CoreESBAppPool Classic Pipeline and the user account you would specifiy in the configuration tool
• CoreEsbNetworkAppPool Integrated pipeline NetworkService
• CoreEsbOpsAppPool Integrated pipeline NetworkService
• CoreEsbWcfAppPool Integrated pipeline user account
• ExceptionESBAppPool Classic pipeline user account
• ExceptionEsbWcfAppPool Integrated pipeline user account

I then created the following applications

• ESB.BizTalkOperationsService AppPool = CoreEsbOpsAppPool Physical path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.BizTalkOperationsService
• ESB.ExceptionHandlingServices AppPool = ExceptionESBAppPool Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ExceptionHandlingServices
• ESB.ExceptionHandlingServices.WCF AppPool = ExceptionEsbWcfAppPool Physical path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ExceptionHandlingServices.WCF
  • ESB.Exceptions.Service AppPool = ExceptionESBAppPool Physical path = C:\Projects\Microsoft.Practices.ESB\Source\Samples\Management Portal\ESB.Exceptions.Service\ESB.Exceptions.Service
• ESB.ItineraryServices AppPool = CoreESBAppPool Physical path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ItineraryServices
• ESB.ItineraryServices.Generic.Response.WCF AppPool = CoreEsbWcfAppPool Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ItineraryServices.Generic.Response.WCF
• ESB.ItineraryServices.Generic.WCF AppPool = CoreEsbWcfAppPool Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ItineraryServices.Generic.WCF
• ESB.ItineraryServices.Response AppPool = CoreESBAppPool Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ItineraryServices.Response
• ESB.ItineraryServices.Response.WCF AppPool = CoreEsbWcfAppPool Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ItineraryServices.Response.WCF
• ESB.ItineraryServices.WCF AppPool = CoreEsbWcfAppPool Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ItineraryServices.WCF
• ESB.ResolverServices AppPool = CoreEsbNetworkAppPool Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ResolverServices
• ESB.ResolverServices.WCF AppPool = CoreEsbWcfAppPool Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ResolverServices.WCF
• ESB.TransformServices AppPool = CoreESBAppPool Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.TransformServices
• ESB.TransformServices.WCF AppPool = CoreEsbWcfAppPool Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Web\ESB.ResolverServices.WCF

And then I disabled anonymous authentication for ESB.BizTalkOperationsService and enabled ASP.NET Impersonation and Windows Authentication.
