The Distribution Transaction Coordinator (DTC) has installed but not running

  • Hi,

    We have Monitoring A/A/P clustered SQL Server instances. I have noticed that DTC is running on only one Active node1. It's NOT running on Active node2 and Passive node3. Is this Normal behavior ?

    Thanks

  • What version of SQL and OS are you running?

    When you installed DTC, what was your procedure?

    Where do you see that DTC is running/not running (Service control panel or Cluster Administrator)?

  • What version of SQL and OS are you running?

    SQL server 2005 EE x64 with SP4 on Windows 2003 R2 EE x64 with SP2

    When you installed DTC, what was your procedure?

    The system admin installed DTC, when he configured Windows cluster setup, 3 node. I have just enabled all remote connection from Administrative Tools-> Component Services->My computer->Right Click-> MSDTC->Secutiry->Enable remote connections

    Where do you see that DTC is running/not running (Service control panel or Cluster Administrator)?

    In Service control panel.

    In cluster Administrator, the MSDTC group is running on Active node1. I can move this MSDTC group in cluster administrator to any node and it's running from whatever node I move.

    Many thanks

  • It seems similar to this other thread.
