  Hi All,

  Does anyone know how to change the name of the Distributed Transaction Coordinator on a Windows Server 2012 Cluster? You used to be able to right-click and rename, but that option is not there now. The name is fixed at "New Distributed Transaction Coordinator".

  Thanks.

  Tim

  Hi,

  I ended up using PowerShell to create the DTC and was able to name it.

  # Create MSDTC Resource

  Get-ClusterGroup 'SQLServer(DB01)' | Add-ClusterResource -Name 'MSDTC-SQLServer(DB01)' -ResourceType "Distributed Transaction Coordinator"

  Also, someone suggested using the "cluster.exe" to make the change.
