Dear Sir,
I have configured linked server opn SQL 2005 and got this below error.
(The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider “SQLNCLI” for linked server “” was unable to begin a distributed transaction.)
Details can be given on request.
Kindly help me in above regard as soon as possible i will be very thank full to you.
Thanks

I have found some possible solutions, please check these
Verify that your network name resolution works.
Verify that the servers can communicate with one another by name, not just by IP address. Check in both directions (for example, from server A to server B and from server B to server A).
If you have a firewall, make sure that your Remote Procedure Call (RPC) ports are opened correctly.
Check the object you refer on the destination server. If it is a view or a stored procedure, or causes an execution of a trigger, check whether it implicitly references another server. If so, the third server is the source of the problem.
Start the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC or MSDTC) on all servers that are involved in the distributed transaction.

I had a problem like this a couple of months ago. I've forgotten exactly what the fix was and I don't have easy access to that system any more.
The fix was a SET command just before the distributed transaction started.
I found it on the internet by doing a copy/paste of the error message.
Wish I could be of more help.

I had this on SQL 2005 so until i loaded the CU 6 patch i couldn't get linked servers to work.
What patch are you on. Plus you can check the component services, DTC and see if anything shows here should see transactions flowing but you get the error before this.

Make sure DTC is on in services...believe thats the one that turns on the transactions for Linked services and transactions to flow.
