PRB: Cannot Initialize Transactions from an MTS Component on a Clustered SQL Server (316881)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Transaction Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q316881 SYMPTOMS
On a clustered SQL Server with Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) components, you may receive the following error message in the event log:
The run-time environment was unable to initialize for transactions required to support transactional components. Make sure that MS DTC is running.(DtcGetTransactionManagerEx(): hr = 0x80070005)
The application could not connect to MSDTC because of insufficient permissions. Please make sure that the identity under which the application is running has permission to access the cluster. Please refer to MSCS documentation on how to grant permissions. Error Specifics: .\dtcinit.cpp:366, CmdLine: C:\WINNT\System32\dllhost.exe /Processid:{8413D71C-0027-4340-A1C2-6DC080A27942}, Pid: 588
CAUSE
MTS package identities must be in Administrator Group on Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) clusters. For MTS packages on MSCS clusters, the user account associated with the package identity must be a system administrator or must have Full Control cluster access permissions as set in the Cluster Administrator (Cluadmin.exe). If you do not run the package with the identity of a system administrator, MTS cannot connect to the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC).
STATUSThis behavior is by design.
