Hi,

I had been doing some testing with Windows 2003 Enterprise Server on a
single CPU server for awhile, with no problems at all.

Then, I tried to install Win2K3 onto one of our servers at work, which
has 4 Xeon CPUs and 16GB memory. Hyperthreading is disabled in the
BIOS, and we don't have the /PAE switch in the boot.ini.

Whenever this system is booted, I see a number of errors in Event
Viewer:

MSDTC
Category SVC
Event 4111
The MS DTC service is stopping

MSDTC
Category SVC
Event 4112
Could not start the MS DTC Transaction Manager

Information - MSDTC
Category TM
Event 53283
DTC Security configuration values. Network Administration of
Transactions = 0,
Network Clients = 0, Distributed Transactions using native MS DTC
Protocol = 0,
Transaction Internet Protocol (TIP) = 0, XA Transactions = 1. (OFF = 0
and ON = 1)

MSDTC
Category TM
Event 4185
MS DTC Transaction Manager Start Failed LogInit returned error 0x2

MSDTC
Category Log
Event 4163
MS DTC log file not found. After ensuring that all Resource Manager
coordinated by MS DTC have no indoubt Transactions,
Please run MSDTC - resetlog to create logfile.

winmgmt
Category NONE
Event 10
Event filter with query "select * from MSMCAEvent-CPUError where (Type =
2147811390) and (LogToEventlog <> 0)" could not be (re)activated in
Namespace "//./root/WMI" because of error 0x80041010. Events may not be
delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

I've done some searching, and I think that the DTC errors may be related
to what's mentioned in this link:

http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBJ/tip4500/rh4593.htm

However, so far, I can't find any information on the Winmgmt error.

Also, I won't be able to try the DTC fix mentioned above until tomorrow,
but even if it works, I'm puzzled why I would be getting these errors
when Win2K3 is running on the 4-cpu server, but I've never gotten those
errors on my single-cpu server?

Thanks in advance,
Jim
