| Event Information | Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) fails to start, and this event will be ogged in the Application Event Log: (Other related Event IDs -7031 & 7022 from Service Control manager) CAUSE: This problem occurs because a registry value that specifies whether the server is clustered is missing. By default, there is no Cluster Server subkey under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ registry key. If this key is present, and the cluster service is not running, or the cluster service functions are failing, MS DTC fails to start, and the above-mentioned events are logged in the Event Log. In the Application Event Log error message, the HRESULT DWORD value is 80070002, which means "file not found" or, in the case of the registry, "key not found." RESOLUTION: To resolve this problem, follow these steps: From the Windows Start menu, click Run, and then type regedt32 to start Registry Editor. Locate the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ If the Cluster Server subkey is not present, add it to the above-mentioned key. Add a new DWORD named ClusterInstallationState, and leave the default value of 0. Quit Registry Editor, and start the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator service. |
