Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator Service Startup
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (MSDTC) coordinates transactions, regardless of failures that may occur during the process, so that the work is committed as a single transaction even if the work spans multiple resource managers on multiple computers.
MSDTC is a Windows service. By default, the service is configured as a manual service rather than as an automatic service. However, most applications demand-start the service as needed. If necessary, the administrator can start the service with the Services administrative tool.

The MS DTC Service is terminating because it didnt startup in a timely manner. This may be because MS DTC took too long to recover its log file. Try increasing the startup timeout by specifying a larger "MaxRecoveryTimePerMbInMinutes" DWORD value under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSDTC registry key. The default for this value is 3 (minutes). Debugging context follows: %1 %0 | |
