SCC - Passive Node Install Error - [WP]

[WildPacket]

SCC - 2 Nodes

1 - Active Node all running fine.

Setup/Installed the Passive Node on SCC Exchange 2007.

When I applied RU8 and rebooted .... the box took forever to reboot ... and
then it said failed to start a service. Prior to applying RU8 all was cool.

Anyways this is the error I see in the application log ..

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSDTC
Event Category: Cluster
Event ID: 4384
Date: 10/9/2009
Time: 3:03:09 PM
User: N/A
Computer: SCC002

Description:

MS DTC was unable to start because the installation was not configured to
run on a cluster. Please create a MS DTC resource through cluster
administrator. Error Specifics:
d:\nt\com\complus\dtc\shared\mtxclu\mtxclusetuphelper.cpp:534, Pid: 4792,
CmdLine: C:\WINDOWS\system32\msdtc.exe

I did not install the MS DTC service. This service is not installed on my
active node either. Why is telling me to add it as a cluster resource ... I
know we needed this for Exchange 2003 Cluster.

Is it something to do with my SAN Configuraiton ...????

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hey WP,

That's correct, however do you have a third party application that requires
it?

If so read: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125149.aspx
