linked server issue

  • Hi

    Can anybody advise on the following error :

    OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "server1" returned message "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.".

    Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 2

    The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "server1" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

    Any pointers would be great. Thanks

  • First verify that DTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator) is up and running properly on both(/all) instances.

  • It helps if you give the context. What do you try to do? Do you need the distributed transaction?

    Also, are the two servers in the same domain? In a workgroup? In different domains with trust? Different domains without trust?

  • Scot - your suggestion worked. I had to enable the MSDTC service and now the distributed queries run.

    Thanks for the pointer !

    No problem. That's the most common fix, and luckily the easiest as well :-).
