How to repair a broken MSDTC-log or reinstall MSDTC
Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) uses the following log file for storing transaction-related recovery information along with all other MS DTC recovery information %SystemRoot%\system32\DTCLog\MSDTC.LOG
If the location of the log file is faulty (non existing or no permission) or the MSDTC.LOG is corrupted, then it will keep the service from starting and give errors like:
     Event ID : 7024
Source : Service Control Manager
Description: The MSDTC service terminated with service specific error 3221229584.
     Event ID : 4163
Source : MSDTC
Description: MS DTC log file not found. After ensuring that all Resource Managers coordinated by MS DTC have no indoubt transactions, run msdtc -resetlog to create the log file.
    More Info MS KB Q205069
To reset the log-file :
If possible start the computer in safemode
Open the %SystemRoot%\System32\DTCLog folder. (Unless you have changed the default location)
If a Msdtc.log file exists in the folder, rename it to Msdtc.old.
Use Notepad to save an empty file as Msdtc.log in the folder.
Open a CMD prompt and type: msdtc -resetlog and press Enter.
Note the Distributed Transaction Coordinator might fail to perform properly if the COM+ Catalog have become corrupted.
    Note to reinstall the Distributed Transaction Coordinator perform the following steps
Execute commands
Net stop msdtc
Msdtc -uninstall
Delete registry keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \MSDTC]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Services \MSDTC]
Execute commands:
Msdtc -install
Msdtc -resetlog
Net start msdtc
