Use the DTCTester utility to verify
transaction support between two
computers if SQL Server is installed
on one of the computers. The DTCTester
utility uses ODBC to verify
transaction support against a SQL
Server database. For more information
about DTCTester see How to Use
DTCTester Tool.
Use DTCPing to verify transaction support between two computers if SQL Server is not installed on either computer. The DTCPing tool must be run on both the client and server computer and is a good alternative to the DTCTester utility when SQL Server is not installed on either computer. For more information about DTCPing, see How to troubleshoot MS DTC firewall issues.
