Description:
MS DTC was unable to start because the installation was not configured to run on a cluster. Please run comclust.exe and restart MS DTC. Error Specifics: d:\nt\com\com1x\dtc\shared\mtxclu\mtxclusetuphelper.cpp:668, CmdLine: C:\WINNT\System32\msdtc.exe, Pid: 796
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, bring MSDTC online by using the Cluster Administrator snap-in.
STATUSThis behavior is by design.MORE INFORMATIONMicrosoft only supports running MSDTC on cluster nodes as a clustered resource. Microsoft does not support or recommend running MSDTC in stand-alone mode on a cluster. Additionally, if you use MSDTC as a non-clustered resource on an MSCS cluster, transactions may be orphaned and your data may be corrupted if you experience cluster failover.
