Hi,

I am installing sql 2005 on a two node cluster. I have managed to complete
the installation and then wanted to add the sql management studio on to the
cluster. I installed disk two and chose the support tools but have way
through the installation it failed with the following error:

Failed to install and configure assemblies C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\NotificationServices\9.0.242\Bin\microso ft.sqlserver.notificationservices.dll in the COM+ catalog. Error: -2146233087
Error message: Unknown error 0x80131501
Error description: The Transaction Manager is not available. (Exception from
HRESULT: 0x8004D01B)

I was installing this on the first node which had ownership of the shared
disks


Any ideas

Looks like you need to install a clustered instance of MSDTC.

Ignore the incoming caller stuff. That is for Biztalk.
