Symptom
You get the following error message when trying to configure “Biztalk Alert” feature at BizTalk configuration Wizard:
ERROR: Failed to set up BAM database(s).
The alert infrastructure was not created.
Failed to install service. Cannot proceed because the created process returned with -1
Posible causes
- Double check that SQL Server Database Mail has been configured properly.
- Check that the account you are specifying for "BAM Alert User" does NOT contain any white spaces on its name.
Note: The issue with white space is not specific to BizTalk Configuration Wizard, but also to the most majority of product using Windows authentication. As a best practice, it is not recommended to use account with white spaces.
Hope it helps.
