Errors when trying to start DTC, need SamSS!

  • Hi all, running SQL2K on W2K.

    When I attempt to start, Service Manager reports,

    "Error 1075: the dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion". 

    I checked RPC, the dependency service, it's running.

    Event Viewer reports,

    "The Distributed Transaction Coordinator service depends on the following nonexistent service: SamSS"

    Any idea how I get hold of this service?  Do I have to Net Start it, if so how?  Do I have to install it?  My installation disks sadly are in storage in another part of the country! 

    Thanks all,

     

    Jaybee.

  • This is the "Security Accounts Manager" service.  Look at the services on your computer and verify that you see the service in the list.  If it's disabled, try to restart it.

    If you don't see the service, I guess you'd need the Win2k cd to reinstall it.
