SQL server 2008 Distributed transaction problem
Code executed on the SQL 2008 server (Installed on Windows 2008 OS)
Insert into Temp table
Exec [sql 2005 server].Dbname.dbo.Spname (SQL 2005 is installed on Windows 2003)
The Execute SP statement when executed alone runs fine, however when called with the Insert statement gives the following error
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "servername" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "servername" returned message "No transaction is active.".
On both the servers the Ad Hoc Distributed Queries is enable @ sql level.
Windows level MS DTC remote service is running with no authentication on both the servers. The firewall is set to off. Also the linked server created has Data access, RPC in & RPC out set to true.

On the SQL 2005 server SP2 is already installed
Can you confirm whether this one was working:
select * from [sql 2005 server].Dbname.dbo.Spname
If it is then
begin distributed tran
select * from [sql 2005 server].Dbname.dbo.Spname
commit tran
If second query is not working, then kindly provide the error message so that we can fix it out.

SPname here stands for Stored procedure name, so i have replaced the select with the execute command.
The first query runs fine, while running the second query the same error is encountered as mentioned in the above problem

Have you configured Steps 1 and 2 in Workaround mentioned in the link below:

This is the same link which I mentioned above. If the second one works that means that MSDTC is configured properly, otherwise it is not.
Restart your 2003 machine for these changes to come into effect.

This is already configured as mentioned earlier. I get the error only when the insert statement statement is executed from sql server 2008 (windows 2008).
When the same query is executed from any sql 2005 the same works fine.

While installing the Application server got the following warning
could not enable the distributed transaction coordinator firewall rule
The windows firewall was off while installing the application server
The DTC was already configured. After restarting the DTC service the event log looks like below
MSDTC started with the following settings:
Security Configuration (OFF = 0 and ON = 1):
Allow Remote Administrator = 0,
Network Clients = 1,
Trasaction Manager Communication:
Allow Inbound Transactions = 1,
Allow Outbound Transactions = 1,
Transaction Internet Protocol (TIP) = 1,
Enable XA Transactions = 1,
MSDTC Communications Security = No Authentication Required,
Account = NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService,
Firewall Exclusion Detected = 0
Transaction Bridge Installed = 0
Filtering Duplicate Events = 1
Am still getting the same error after configuring the mentioned steps

Enable Windows Firewall, Configure it as mentioned in the link and then Disable Windows Firewall.
Give it a try and might help.

In SQL Server 2005, a bug was fixed for Linked Server connectivity in Service Pack 2.
Hence installing either SP2 or SP3 for that SQL Server 2005 machine is recommended to resolve this issue.
