Resolve

Report an invalid error code to Microsoft

The system detected an error condition. However, the error was reported in a component outside the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (MSDTC), and there is not enough information to provide a recommendation for resolution of the problem. MSDTC cannot identify the source of the error.

If you continue to get this error, note the details in the event message, and then contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS). For information about how to contact CSS, see Enterprise Support (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=52267).
