Re: MSDTC Disk Problem

Hi



As i told you it fails the DTC resources ,instead i can move ip and network
name with no prob and apparently also the disk , but if i try to open it
from operating system i can't do it , the operating system don't even
recognize the size and the volume



and watching the event viewer after the MSDTC resource fails it sign as
error that the resources can't open the log file that reside on the disk



The strange things is as I told you that if I stop the service on the node
the group is moved without problem , I have problem "only" with both nodes
active





Thank's



Nick
