  1. In Windows Explorer, create a new folder for the DTC logs.
  2. At a Windows command prompt, stop the MS DTC service.
  3. Open Microsoft Component Services by selecting Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Component Services.
    1. Expand Component Services.
    2. Expand Computers.
    3. Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
    4. Select the MS DTC tab.
    5. In the Log Information group box, change the Capacity to 16 MB or higher.
  4. Click Reset log.
  5. To reset the existing log file, in the dialog box, click Yes.
  6. In the dialog box, type a new drive location.
  7. Click Reset.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Start the MS DTC service.
  10. Delete the original MS DTC folder through Windows Explorer.
