Unable to begin a distributed transaction

Having a SQL Server 2K (SP3a) with a link to another SQL Server 2K (no
service packs), distributed transactions works as expected most of the
time.
But occasionally the MSDTC(s) seems to fall in a state of failure,
causing the following error when involving distributed transactions:

"The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider
'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in
the specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB'
ITransactionJoi n::JoinTransact ion returned 0x8004d00a]."

The only way out of this state is to stop and start both of the SQL
Servers (stop/start of the DTC's doesn't help).

Is this a common problem?
Guess I will be recommended to install SP on the server without
service packs, but will this positively solve the problem described
above?

Could general network failures cause the error state described above,
and if so - is there a way to make the MSDTC's survive or recover from
the error situation automatically?

Hi have have two linked SQL Servers and I am trying to get things working smootly/quickly. Should I be using 'BEGIN TRANSACTION' or 'BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION' ?

Please dont say replicate the tables either as at this time, this is is not an option. I have for example a number of stored procedures...

Hi, I am seeking the help of volunteers to test some software that I've developed which facilitates distributed two-phase commit transactions, encompassing any resource manager (e.g. SQL/Server or Oracle) controlled by Microsoft's Distributed Transaction Coordinator in a Windows2000 environment, with any resource manager under the control of DECdtm (e.g. Rdb (or Oracle via the XA Veneer)) in a VMS environment.

My ASP.Net 2.0 web site has a Data.xsd schema. I just added a table adapter to the collection and configured it to use an existing SQL 2000 stored proc.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
