Click start connecting

Next

Ensure you pick English (or your specific language), Next

Leave it at ALL PRODUCTS.  Next

(This doesn't download Biztalk patches to your server, this setting just ensure that as you add new computers with various products it will offer up the proper patches)

Ensure you pick at least Critical Updates, Security Updates, and Service Packs are selected under Synchronization Options, Products and classifications, update classifications.  I unchecked drivers as a FYI.  Next.

Set a auto sync  -- or leave as is.  Next.

Click finish.

The one area that most uncheck things which in turn "breaks" the integration is the "all products" section.

Didn't work for me, although I did it incorrectly the first time (I didn't check "all products" for the the "all products" section). I still get the blue shield in SBS 2003.
