We have installed sql server 2k on windows 2003. We are
having problems with the MSDTC working correctly. We
cannot get this service to fail over. This is the error:

MS DTC's log information has not been configured
correctly in the shared cluster registry. Error
Specifics:
d:\srv03rtm\com\complus\dtc\shared\mtxclu\mtxcluse tuphelpe
r.cpp:556, CmdLine: C:\WINDOWS\system32\msdtc.exe, Pid:
3980

Has anyone had any experiance with this? Thanks for any
help.

Did you run comclust.exe?

Comclust is not used on a Windows 2003 cluster. Look at the following
article:

How to configure Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator on a Windows
Server 2003 Cluster

Also, you will need to install the Windows 2003 component Network MSDTC.
This is done through Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs
