Author MSDTC across different Windows versions

Hi there.

I have a MS Distributed Transaction Coordinator qestion which doesnt involve
a clustered setup at all. I know this may not technically be the correct
forum but I've solved other MSDTC issues here before so I was hoping....!

Do you know whether any problems should be anticipated with distributed
transactions if a series of linked or remote servers were set up on machines
with different operating systems? I'm about to set up a system with 2
machines on Winows2003 and one on Windows NT => I just want to know whether
it's possible to get a distributed transaction to run ok across all 3
servers...

Any info would be appreciated!

The same protocols are used; however, technically, DTC did not come around
until Win2K. For NT 4, it was Option Pack and MTS. So, there could be some
compatibility issues there.

However, the SQL Server BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION is the same.

Best I can say is Test, Test, Test.

Sincerely,


Anthony Thomas
