I am working on a Windows Server 2008, the MSDTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator) Service Stops Unexpectedly and I cannot restart it again.

When I go to the event viewer this is the error message that I have got: "A critical error occurred in an MS DTC component therefore the process is terminating. The category field identifies the component that encountered the error. Please contact Microsoft Product Support. Error Specifics: hr = 0x80070002, d:\rtm\com\complus\dtc\dtc\msdtc\src\cservice.cpp:473, CmdLine: C:\Windows\System32\msdtc.exe, Pid: 4504"

Does someone know how can I restart that service?

Thanks you very much for your help; Sergio

I managed. After too much reading and getting more confused, finnaly I find the solution. After restarting the machine , I went to Run command window and I typed in : msdtc -resetlog. Then I re-start the service again and it started without a problem. - SergioKastro

I managed.

After too much reading and getting more confused, finally I find the solution.

After restarting the machine, I went to Run command window and I typed in there:

MSDTC -resetlog

Then I re-start the service again and it started without a problem

Method 2:

  1. Rename the %SystemRoot%\System32\Dtclog folder to Dtclog.old
  2. Create a new Dtclog folder in the same location (%SystemRoot%\System32\Dtclog)
  3. At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER: MSDTC -resetlog
  4. Start the MSDTC service
