I configured a w2k3 cluster and everything seems to work properly. W
are trying to add the MSDTC resource manually to the cluster group bu
the resource refuses to start. Here is the event we are getting in th
event log.

MS DTC setup failed to populate the shared cluster
registry. The DTC resource will not be able to come
online.Error Specifics:
d:\srv03rtm\com\complus\dtc\shared\mtxclu\mtxcluse
tuphelper
.cpp:120, CmdLine: "C:\WINDOWS\cluster\resrcmon.exe" -e
1208 -m 1212 -p 2132, Pid: 3636
"


Has anyone seen this problem? Is MSDTC required to be on a separat
resource group with its own network name and IP plus physical disk?
Please advise

You have to enable network access to DTC, in Win03 it's not on by default.
