Dear Experts,
On a SQL Server 2008 R2 failover cluster, MS DTC cluster service is not coming online. It fails with below error message.
"The DTC cluster resource's log file path was originally configured at: E:. Attempting to change that to: M:. This indicates a change in the path of the DTC cluster resource's dependent disk resource. This is not supported. The error code returned: 0x8000FFFF".
From the Component Services, we can see under the clustered DTCs, in the properties of the log file that it is configured for E drive. The 'Transaction list' and 'Transaction Statistics' are empty. When I try to change the log file path to point to M drive I get this warning message.
"An MSDTC log file already exists in the selected directory. Resetting an existing MS DTC log file may cause your databases and other transactional resource managers to become inconistent. Please review the MSDTC Administrator's manual before proceeding. Do you wish to reset the existing MS DTC log"
Could you please advise if this is safe to proceed with this warning as the 'Transaction list' and 'Transaction Statistics' are empty or would it cause any other issue.
Thanks,
M&M

you'll need to perform a DTC reset log, the syntax from a command prompt is
msdtc -resetlog
Then restart the msdtc clustered role
