Moving and enlarging the MS DTC logs
The MS DTC logs are generated by default in the %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DTClog folder. It is recommended that you place the logs on a different disk, and increase the log file size.
To move locations for MS DTC logs in Microsoft Windows Server:
- In Windows Explorer, create a new folder for the DTC logs.
- Select Start > Administrative Tools > Component Services.
- Expand Component Services > Computers > My Computer > Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
- Right-click LocalDTC, and select Properties.
- Select the Logging tab.
- In the Log Information section, change the Capacity to 16 MB or higher.
Note: If you experience an error that the log file is full, increase the capacity to 100 MB.
- Specify the location for the log file, and click OK.
- When prompted, click Yes to restart the MSDTC service.
- Delete the original MS DTC directory through Windows Explorer.
