MSDTC, an abbreviation for Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC), is a serviced component implemented in newly marketed Microsoft Windows systems (Windows 2000 operating systems and later, and Windows NT 4.0 has the MSDTC). His job is to coordinate the various transactions among multiple resource managers, including but not limited to databases, file systems and message queues.
Installing and configuring MSDTC on a Windows 2003 Server Cluster
There are two main ways to install the MSDTC in a Windows Server 2003, one of the most widely if not the most used server system today anything .Avant, the MSDTC resource must be created by enabling network DTC access.
Method 1: Cluster administrator
Cluster administrator can be used to install MSDTC on all nodes in a cluster, as you won't need to install the MSDTC when affect everyone.
1. Start the cluster administrator:
A. Click Start and then programs.
B. change to the administration tools, and then click cluster administrator
2 Create a group called "Group MSDTC" containing a network name, IP address and a physical disk, by:
A. click on the file menu, new and then group.
B. navigate through the new Group Wizard will help you create the MSDTC Group
3 Create an IP address resource by:
A. right on group MSDTC, and then click NewResource
B. create a name (by exemple.Adresse MSDTC IP)
C. go to a type of resource, click the IP address and check the MSDTC Group and then click Next
D. go owners possible, and then click Next
E. go to dependencies and click Next that you do not want to add all the dependencies
F. change TCP/IP address parameters and choose public network
G. Enter the MSDTC Group static IP address and click Next
H. click Finish and OK
4 Create a network name resource by:
A. right on group MSDTC, and then click NewResource
B. create a name (by exemple.Nom MSDTC Network)
C. go to the type of resource, click the network name and verify the MSDTC Group and then click Next
D. go owners possible, and then click Next
E. Change dependencies, add the IP address of MSDTC as a dependency, and then click Next
F. change in name, enter the MSDTC resource name and click Next
G. click Finish and OK
5 Create a physical disk resource by:
A. right on group MSDTC, and then click NewResource
B. create a name (by physical exemple.Disque MSDTC)
C. change type of resource, click physical disk, check the MSDTC Group and then click Next
D. go owners possible, and then click Next
E. go to dependencies and click Next that you do not want to add all the dependencies
F. change settings on the disk, and then select a physical disk for the MSDTC
G. click Finish and OK
6. Right click the MSDTC Group, and then click NewResource
7. Type a name.
8 Go type of resource and select the Distributed Transaction Coordinator in MSDTC Group and click Next
9 Go owners possible, and then click Next
10 Go to dependencies, keep your Ctrl key, select the network name and physical disk that you created and click Add
11. Click on finish and OK to complete the creation of the resource.
12 Enable network DTC access
13. Right click the MSDTC resource, and click on online
Method 2: cluster.exe
Cluster.exe is a powerful to install and configure the MSDTC on multiple clusters.
1. Enable network DTC access unless the cluster is dedicated to the Exchange Server, which would render the extent to
2. Using the command prompt (cmd.exe), create a group called MSDTC Group (make sure that the Group should contain an IP address, network name and physical disk)
3 Create the MSDTC resource by typing the following in the command prompt:
cluster res "resource MSDTC" / create GROUP ClusterName: "Group MSDTC" TYPE: "Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
4. Run the following command in the command prompt:
cluster res ClusterName /ADDDEP "MSDTC resource": "Network name"
cluster res ClusterName /ADDDEP "MSDTC resource": "Disk X:"
A. network name is the network name and X drives physical disk the MSDTC resource.
5 Run the following command in the command prompt to bring online the MSDTC:
cluster res ClusterName /ON "MSDTC resource"
