Hello Dadio,

No there is no need to delete the service or remove the registry value if you just remove the resource from cluster.

Martin.

Hi Martin,
Wow for the quick response!!!
This cluster is IIS and file server. No SQL is installed.
After deleting the resource…. do i need to uninstall from the servers? deleting from registry?
Untick “enable network DTC from add/remove windows components?

thanks a lot !

@ Dadio:

Hii,
If you do not need the MSDTC in cluster then you should go to “Cluster Administrator” MMC and then delete the MSDTC group or resource. This will remove MSDTC service from Cluster, however this service is essential if you have MS SQL Cluster.

If you are not running a cluster then you can just run msdtc with -uninstall flag and delete the registry keys to remove MSDTC from the server.

HTH

Cheers,
Martin.

I had this same problem however all I had to do to fix it is run msdtc -install on the active server. I am not sure if the origanol cluster creation did not create the install however it did fix my problem.
