How to SETUP MSDTC on Win2k3

I have documentation for Win2K which says run
comclust.exe to add MSDTC . Running the same brings up
the Admin window.
Please point me to some documentation which clearly
describes on how to setup MSDTC on win3K cluster
Thanks

|||Hello Alfred,
Here are the two Microsoft Knowledge Base articles that you need to setup MSDTC on a Win2K3 cluster

How to setup cluster ?

Hi,
I've 3 PC. 2 x Win2K AS and 1 Win2K Pro. Is it possible to cluster the 2
Win2K AS as Primary & Secondary while the Win2K Pro serves as the shared disk
server ?
Do I need to get a Raid card for Win2K Pro PC ?
Advice pls.
You might be able to use iSCSI on the XP box, though I have not tested it.
Other then that, you are asking for instructions that probably don't exist,
and if they did would probably not be supported. If you are in need of a
test environment, may I suggest VS 2005?
Cheers,
Rod

|||Forget about using the Win2K Pro as the 'shared disk server' (I took 'shared
disk server' to mean file server). Get an external RAID controller and some
disks to serve as the shared disks, and use the two Win2K AS as the nodes.

To setup a test enviroment you will need at least one external SCSI drive
or ability to setup using iSCSI
