Setting Up Remote MSDTC
Applies to:
- DxEnterprise for Windows
Summary
Because MSDTC can only run under a single server name per server, if you have multiple virtualized instances that require the use of MSDTC you will need to setup a remote coordinator.
Information
Here are the steps to configure your DxEnterprise cluster nodes to use a remote DTC coordinator.
On a server outside of the DxEnterprise cluster (the remote coordinator):
Launch Windows Component Services (Run > dcomcnfg)
Expand Component Services > Computers > My Computer > Distributed Transaction Coordinator
Right-click on Local DTC and select Properties
Select the Security tab
Under Security Settings check the Network DTC Access, Allow Remote Clients, Allow Inbound, Allow Outbound and Enable XA Transactions check boxes
Click OK
On each of your DxEnterprise cluster nodes:
Launch Windows Component Services (Run > dcomcnfg)
Expand Component Services > Computers
Right-click on My Computer and select Properties
Select the MSDTC tab
Under Default Coordinator uncheck the Use local coordinator check box
Under Remote coordinator host name enter the host name of the remote coordinator
Click OK
