Here is a step by step guide to turn on MSDTC on Windows 7. MSDTC settings are somewhat hidden in Windows 7 and I could not get to them as I did on Windows XP or Server 2003. I found a way and I’m putting it out here.

Step 1

Run dcomcnfg. This will open MMC with Component Services snapin.

dcomcnfg

Step 2

Expand Distributed Transaction Coordinator folder

Step 3

Right click on Local DTC and click Properties. Click on Security tab. Here you can modify DTC settings.

    Hello,

    I follow all steps, but when I come on component services window I can’t find the “Local DTC” Tree.

    Do you know why??

    Thanks
