Could not start Distributed Transaction Coordinator on a clustered server.

I am trying to start Distributed Transaction Coordinator in one of the node of my clustered server.
It is running in Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. But I received the error mesage as stated in the Error Messges tab.

How can I resolve this problem?

Although it's not a solution but a workaround, try to see if this one should work for you:

- Select the MS DTC resource, right click and select properties;
- Check the Run this resource in a separate Resource Monitor option;
- Move the group that contains the MS DTC resource to the node that you encounter the problem and check if the resource goes online.

eer, the MSDTC is running locally on individual node.
If you mean they are to be clustered, please elaborate on how to?
