I have two SQL Server 2008 R2 instances and one SQL Server 2005 instance on this cluster. My only question is, why don't the 2008 R2 instances have problems communicating to the MSDTC but the 2005 instance requires the configuration change documented in your article? Thanks, Adam Great article, I’m having this issue right now with a SQL Server 2005 test instance hosted on a Windows Server 2008 R2 cluster.

I struggled in much the same way with this and it took me a good few days to finally get my head around it. But this is bang on! Wish I had this then. Good job Lewis! A* This is a fantastic article!

I have already scanned the registry several times for the the port numbers I have entered but they are just not there. I would have expected that even if the GUI does not create the very same registry keys as desribed in the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/250367 it would still save the values somewhere in the registry but that is clearly not the case... So is there maybe an INI file for RPC if yes where on the filesystem is it?... What I don’t understand is where those settings which I make using the GUI are being saved to…

I noticed it works ok in IE8 but does flag an error about parent and child elements. Not entirely sure what that's all about but I'll have a look. Thanks Lewis Hi Jeremy, thanks for the feedback.

Wish MS had this documented somewhere. I will be testing this out myself, not the cluster portion but the firewall and specific ports being required.
