Tried but it made no difference.
Thanks anyway.
Any other offers apart from a restore?

Browse All TopicsHi,
I am looking after a tiered system which has two IIS servers connecting to a SQL server.
I also changed the NTFS permissions on the servers through a GPO recently (which ties in to the problem start date) where I overwrote settings instead of appending them.
From the website test the MSDTC fails to communicate. I've checked the settings in the DCOM, System, MSDTC, Security settings and they are correct. I have also ran sc sdshow and got the following response:
D:(A;;CCLCSWRPLOCRRC;;;S-1
RSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWL
;;WD)(A;;CCLCSWRPLORC;;;NS
This is consistant on all 3 servers and another server in a different environment which does work so I presume this is OK?
I am also getting a number of event logs (full auditing on fail is on) like this:

This error occurs when the tests are run which would indicate some of the problem. This error only started after my permissions error.
The system test fails on MSDTC Write Test. See error log below.

Test Error - Raised by testing the system
Event logs on the SQL server are not showing anything in the same time period which could indicate the problem, nor the Services IIS server. The Internet IIS server appears to be the problem server (event log anyway).
I'm wondering if the Network Service account should have access to something it currently doesn't have, but I can't figure out what. That is what the MSDTC is using.
I do have alternative environments to compare the settings against, there are just a lot of settings!
Any help appriciated.

Found the resolution which may be in the link provided (I can't check at work as it's blocked the site).
The restore failed as well.
The problem was on the SQL server the RDP registry settings were missing to specify the ports used. I identified this was the problem by using DTCPing as it wouldn't connect going through the firewall but would to another server in the same VLAN.
I will review the link provided and if it does state this I will award the points.
Thanks
