  While configuring cluster in windows 2008, we don't need to configure MSDTC. My manager told me. I have created two nodes and added disks as the resources. Is MSDTC is gone?

  Actually in Windows 2008 it has changed a bit.

  As per Technet

  In Windows Server 2008, you can create multiple DTCs in a failover cluster using the following steps:

  1. Create multiple cluster groups in the failover cluster.

  2. Create a clustered MS DTC resource for each group.

  Here is the full link for it
