Symptoms

When an MSDTC transaction runs on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (Msdtc.exe) may crash if slow network performance occurs.

Additionally, the following events are logged:

Cause

This issue occurs because MSDTC logs a warning.

When a connection time-out is detected, MSDTC logs a warning if slow network performance occurs. However, an object dereferences a null pointer when the session is cleaned up. Therefore, the issue that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section occurs.
