MSDTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator) Service Stops Unexpectedly

I am working on a Windows Server 2008, the MSDTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator) Service Stops Unexpectedly and I cannot restart it again.

When I go to the event viewer this is the error message that I have got: "A critical error occurred in an MS DTC component therefore the process is terminating. The category field identifies the component that encountered the error. Please contact Microsoft Product Support. Error Specifics: hr = 0x80070002, d:\rtm\com\complus\dtc\dtc\msdtc\src\cservice.cpp:473, CmdLine: C:\Windows\System32\msdtc.exe, Pid: 4504"

Does someone know how can I restart that service?

Thanks you very much for your help; Sergio

Solution

  • I managed.

    After too much reading and getting more confused, finally I find the solution.

    After restarting the machine, I went to Run command window and I typed in there:

    MSDTC -resetlog

    Then I re-start the service again and it started without a problem
