Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator Service Log Availability
The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (MSDTC) is running on a clustered server for increased reliability, based on the failover capabilities of the clustered servers.
Restore Msdtclog.dll, and restart MSDTC
The system indicates that there is a problem with the Msdtclog.dll file, which is located in the \windows\system32 folder. Check this folder to see if the Msdtclog.dll file is there. If the Msdtclog.dll file is present in the \windows\system32 folder, stop and then restart the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (MSDTC). If the file is not there, restore it from a backup (or other means) to this location, and then restart MSDTC.
Administrators

The system stops and then restarts the MSDTC.
To stop and then restart MSDTC if the Msdtclog.dll file is not present in the default location:
Click Start, and then click Command Prompt.
