We have a sql 2008 (SP3) x64 server with Win 2008, SP2. Often after a reboot the MS DTC service fails to start. It's set to "Automatic (Delayed Start)", using "Network Service". The event log message is
>>>>
The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) service could not be contacted. If you would like distributed transaction functionality, please start this service.
>>>>
We have no problem starting it manually but how can I trace why this is happening? (It's most annoying when the first time we hear about it is when our Devs report it's not working).
TIA,
