📢 Our Recommendation: Update to BizTalk Server 2020 CU7

The BizTalk Server product team has released Cumulative Update 7 (CU7) for BizTalk Server 2020 – now available for download. This update includes all previously released functional and security fixes for customer-reported issues in BizTalk Server 2020, and adds support for key Microsoft platforms including: Microsoft Visual Studio 2022, Microsoft Windows Server 2022, Microsoft SQL Server 2022, and Microsoft Windows 11.  

BizTalk Server 2016 has reached end of support with its end of life in 2027. Customers still running BizTalk 2016 or earlier versions are recommended to upgrade to BizTalk Server 2020 CU6 or strongly consider migrating to modern integration services such as Azure Logic Apps.
