Problems with DTC service on Windows Server

[Guest Buckeye Tech]

I am trying to apply SP1 for EXchange 2007. The server is a x64 WIn 2003 R2

box, fully patched. I get an error during the initial phase saying the DTC

service must be started. If I try to start the service manually then I get an

1053 service did not respond in a timely fashion error. I can also see the

this error message

Application popup: MSDTC.EXE - Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry

point MtxCluGetDtcRegValue could not be located in the dynamic link library

MTXCLU.DLL. Anyone have any ideas of how to fix this?

Try this

 

1) Goto %SystemRoot%\system32\MsDtc

Rename existing msdtc.log to .old and create a text file and renamed it to

msdtc.log

 

2) Run the following commands from the command prompt

msdtc.exe -uninstall

msdtc.exe -install

msdtc -resetlog

 

3) Ensure that the service is set to start under NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService

 

4) Ensure registry ,HKLM>Software>Microsoft>MSDTC is not missing, you might

have to import the same from an identical server

 

5) If the issue is not yet resolved install the latest com+ rollup update

from http://support.microsoft.com/?id=927673

 

Hope this helps

Thanks for your help. I did the MSdtc -uninstall and reinstall. I still got

the error MSDTC.EXE - Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point

MtxCluGetDtcRegValue could not be located in the dynamic link library

MTXCLU.DLL.

 

I compared this dll to one on my other Exchange server. It was an older

version. I copied the newer version of the file over to the problem server

and everything started working.
