FIX: Only Administrators Can Use MTS on Localized Platforms (170822)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Transaction Server 1.0
- Microsoft Transaction Server 1.0 SP2 for Alpha
This article was previously published under Q170822 SYMPTOMS
By default, on localized versions of Windows NT Server, only Windows NT
Server System Administrators can administer or use Microsoft Transaction
Server.
Users who are not part of the Windows NT Administrators group will be
unable to start Microsoft Transaction Server. Microsoft Transaction Server
may log the following error in the Event log:
The run-time environment has detected an inconsistency in its internal
state and has failfast. Please contact Microsoft Product Support
Services to report this error. User name lookup on NT user: "Everyone"
failed (dwError: 1332). (Microsoft Transaction Server Internals
Information: File: acl.cpp, Line: 310)
CAUSE
Microsoft Transaction Server keeps its administration information in the
registry. At installation, full control of these registry keys is given to
the Administrators group. Certain permissions are also given to the
"Everyone" group. However, on localized versions of Windows NT, this group
gets a different name (in the native language). Microsoft Transaction
Server gives these permissions to the "Everyone" group, which is not
recognized by the localized version of Windows NT. Thus the permissions are
not recognized.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain and install Transaction Server 1.0 Service
Pack 2a.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Transaction
Server version 1.0. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 2a
for Microsoft Transaction Server version 1.0. For more information, contact
your primary support provider.
