Ensure that the computers can communicate with each other by confirming network connectivity. Confirm that firewall settings for the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) allow network communication over the appropriate port.
Firewall settings block network communication for MSDTC.
To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To confirm network connectivity:
Click Start, and then click Command Prompt.
At the command prompt, use the ping command and the computer name to confirm that the computers are communicating over the network. For example, to confirm that your server can communicate over the network with a computer named ContosoWS2016, type ping ContosoWS2016, and then press ENTER.
A successful connection results in a set of replies from the other computer and a set of ping statistics.
To confirm that MS DTC firewall settings allow network communication over the appropriate port:
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Windows Firewall.
Click Allow a program through Windows Firewall. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
On Windows Firewall Settings Advanced tab, locate Distributed Transaction Coordinator in the list, and then verify that the check box is selected.
