Enlist of MSDTC transaction failed

Microsoft.SQLServer.2012.Enlist_of_MSDTC_transaction_failed_1_5_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This message occurs when an attempt is made to enlist a new or existing Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) transaction and that attempt fails.

The cause of the failure to enlist varies. The state of the error, the specific result code returned with the error, as well as any other errors that occurred around the same time can help to determine why the enlistment failed in your environment. The failure to enlist is often a sign of a communications problem such as failed name resolution. It can also be the result of the way the calling application is coded or a result of blocking or performance issues on the SQL Server side.
