    Hi Satish,

    My reply was in regards to duplicate cids if you are deploying Virtual Servers from a preconfigured template.

    You don't necessarily have to configure MSDTC for replication, but it does need to be running, from what I remember SQL would use MSDTC for the linked servers it creates when you set up Replication....

    See the below from a post in the MSDN Forums:
