Hi guys, what am I doing wrong with this? Please note these are all problems
from 'clean installs'.
(INTRO/WHAT I DID/ERROR MESSAGES)

INTRO:
======
I have Compaq Proliant DL380 G4 with MGSA 500 G2 cluster. My O/S is Windows
2003 64-bit R2. My compaq SmartStart is version 7.40.
Documentation I used are:
Doc1(overall document):
http://msmvps.com/blogs/clustering/archive/2004/10/25/16672.aspx
Doc2(network DTC):          http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817064
Doc3(cluster a DTC):
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;301600

WHAT I DID:
==========
Attempt 1:    I used smartstart to install the O/S.
                   I patched it.
                   network DTC was added (as per Doc2)
                   changed DTC log to 40 mb (as per Doc1)
                   Rebooted
                   installed DTC (as per Doc3)

Attempt 2:    I used smartstart to install the O/S.
                   I patched it.
                   network DTC was added (as per Doc2)
                   changed DTC log to 40 mb (as per Doc1)
                   Rebooted
                   installed DTC (as per Doc3)

Attempt 3:    I used smartstart to install the O/S.
                   I patched it.
                   (execute) msdtc -uninstall
                    clear MSDTC registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Services\
& HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\ & HKCR\CID
                   installed DTC (as per Doc3)

Attempt n:    I've tried various other combinations as exploratory tests as
well.

ERROR MESSAGES:
================

So I take it your D: drive is a shared disk for the cluster?

Have you looked at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=896729 yet?

Now you mention it. I don't know where that D: drive came from.
It was probably the Q: quorum drive before I renamed it... PRIOR to doing
the cluster admin changes.. How did that get there?

That is a question you really need to answer :) Look at your clustered MSDTC
resource.

I had the same problem 3 days ago. I fixed MSDTC error message like
this:
>From the services Distributed Transaction Coordinator service startup
type was AUTOMATIC. You always  should change cluster managed recourse
service startup type to MANUAL.

This is all.

Why would it say D: drive? I never had a D: drive.
My D: was a CD rom which was quickly re-assigned to Z: seconds after it was
first installed.

My quorum is a Q: drive.

I've been through oodles of documentation and have printed off reams of
documentation - nothing seems to have worked.

I don't know why, but that rollup patch worked; but it did!!
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=896729
It's amazing why it needed  a patch on 'clean install' but at least it
worked. Thank you, Rodney R. Fournier [MVP]!!

Hi Red

The D: is from using SmartStart!!!
HP throws a partation on your disk and slaps some diagnostic stuff on it and
then trys to hide it.
later you come along looking at 'disks' and find a D: you never planned on.
the rollup 'clues in 2003 to what HP did' and your system can deal with C:,
D:, Q:, and Z: before the rollup it thought d was c, ect.
Man I love HP....  ;-P
