The error in the command line when running `net start msdtc` indicated that there were configuration issues.
I went into the registry and set the configuration settings to the same values as a default installation of MSDTC.
Afterwards, MSDTC was able to start up, however the local dtc seems to be missing in the component services.
I've since followed the steps here.
1. `net stop msdtc`
2. `msdtc -uninstall`
3. `msdtc -install`
4. `net start msdtc`
And the steps here.
Which is the similar procedure as above only with also deleting the registry configuration.
I've also put back a registry backup and rebooted.
And rebooted after reinstalling.
So far no matter what, the local dtc is hiding from me.
Does anyone know what might be wrong here, and how to reinstall the local dtc?
I've made an identical post on serverfault.
