MORE INFORMATIONProduct support for a BizTalk Server VM hosted on a virtualization program not listed in the "Introduction" section is provided as commercially reasonable support. Commercially reasonable support is defined as all reasonable support efforts by Microsoft Customer Service and Support that do not require BizTalk Server code fixes. If you have problems with a BizTalk Server VM hosted on a virtualization program not listed in the "Introduction" section, and the problem cannot be resolved through commercially reasonable support, the problem must be reproducible in a non-VM environment or on one of the supported virtualization programs listed in the "Introduction" section for the problem to be escalated to the BizTalk Server product group as a bug.

Microsoft server software and supported virtualization environments
Microsoft SQL Server has strict guidelines and a formal support policy for SQL Server products that are running in a hardware virtualization environment. Make sure that SQL Server is installed and configured correctly in a hardware virtualization environment. Also, because BizTalk Server makes extensive use of SQL Server databases, it is important to be aware of support policies for running SQL Server on a Hyper-V virtual machine.
