View Transaction Information

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Occasionally, if a communication line fails or a faulty distributed transaction application leaves unresolved transactions, you may need to view a list of transactions that are coordinated by a Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) instance, along with properties on the transactions, to determine the problem and manually resolve any incomplete transactions. You can use these procedures to view the DTC transaction list and the transaction properties.

Membership in Administrators, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete these procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).
