as best practice MSDTC resource can be located to different cluster group.
but it s tricky.
MSDTC -install command install MSDTC service
MSDTC -uninstall makes opposite.
msdtc -resetlog
to uninstall msdtc
msdtc -uninstall and then delete these registry keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSDTC
if exists HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSDTC.
--sometimes you see error 4394
--MS DTC's log information has not been configured correctly in the shared cluster ----registry.
--You have to check DCOMCNFG.exe and computer--properties MSDTC tab and log path.
after you uuninstall msdtc service.
reboot and msdtc -install
if you have clustered environment you will see msdtc resource in default cluster group.
to change MSDTC resource to different group ,follow these steps
ps:MSDTC resource group has dependency to disk and Network name.I assume you have another cluster group ,network name and disk resource in it.
1. Offline the MSDTC resource.
a. If moving the resource to a different group The MSDTC resource must be
deleted and recreated
2. Copy the DTC folder from the original drive to the destination drive (c:\windows\system32\msdtc)
3. Open the regedit on browse to "HKLM\Cluster\Resources\MSDTC Resource
GUID\GUID\DtcLogPath" change the value to the new path
4. Change dependency to the New Disk (in different group)
5. From a Cmd line "MSDTC -resetlog"
6. Bring MSDTC resource online
