Resolve

Restore Msdtclog.dll, and restart MSDTC

The system indicates that there is a problem with the Msdtclog.dll file, which is located in the \windows\system32 folder. Check this folder to see if the Msdtclog.dll file is there. If the Msdtclog.dll file is present in the \windows\system32 folder, stop and then restart the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (MSDTC). If the file is not there, restore it from a backup (or other means) to this location, and then restart MSDTC.

To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To open Component Services and restart MSDTC:

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.

  2. Type comexp.msc, and then click OK. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.

  3. Click Services.

  4. In the Services pane, right-click Distributed Transaction Coordinator, and then click Restart.

    The system stops and then restarts the MSDTC.

To stop and then restart MSDTC if the Msdtclog.dll file is not present in the default location:

  1. Click Start, and then click Command Prompt.
  2. At the command prompt, type net stop msdtc, and then press ENTER.
  3. At the command prompt, type net start msdtc, and then press ENTER.
