Error 8501
Severity Level 16
Message Text
MS DTC on server '%.*ls' is unavailable.
Explanation
This error can occur while processing an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement inside an explicit or implicit transaction. This error typically indicates that the MSDTC service is not running on the local server. Data modification statements in an explicit or implicit transaction require the MSDTC service to be running and the provider's support of distributed transactions.
Action
Use SQL Server Service Manager to verify that the MSDTC service has been started on the server. For more information, see the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator documentation.
