2003 member server MSDTC issues

Even after SP1 the following event log can still occur on a 2k3 member server:

53258MS DTC could not correctly process a DC Promotion/Demotion event. MS DTC will continue to function and will use the existing security settings. Error Specifics: d:\srvrtm\com\complus\dtc\dtc\adme\uiname.cpp:9280, Pid: 576No Callstack,CmdLine: C:\WINDOWS\system32\msdtc.exe

By all acounts it seems to be a known, yet undocumented bug and has a fairly srtraightforward fix:

  1. Got to component services
  2. Properties on my computer
  3. MSDTC
  4. click security settings
  5. click ok

This seems to restart the MSDTC security settings back to their defaults. Then restart the service:

net stop msdtc
net start msdtc

The error will then go away!!!
