Please make sure that the MS DTC service account information is updated using the component Services Explorer. |

Following information from a newsgroup post may help: "This means your account that you changed it to does not have rights on the %WINDIR%\system32\MsDtc directory. In Server 2003, you need to let it run under the Network Service account, there is no reason to change this." -------------------------------- "Try to configure the MSDTC service to start with the NTAUTHORITY\NetworkService account" -------------------------------- "Go to Control panel->services or Administrative Tools-> services and find the Distributed Transaction Coordinator service. There will be a properties box where you can change the login/password under which DTC runs. The error message states that the login/password is bad...
