Symptoms
Windows 10 Version 1607
When you try to start Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) service, the service does not start.
Windows Server 2016
Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) fails to auto-start. If you run “sc query msdtc” to see the status of MSDTC, the command returns the following output:
STATE equals “1 STOPPED”
Cause
When you set up a new system, this problem occurs after you apply an image and run Sysprep if the Sysprep process does not correctly mark itself as completed. When this problem occurs, the following registry key is set:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSDTC\SysprepInProgress = 1
Resolution
To fix this issue, install Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 and Windows Server 2016: December 9, 2016 (KB3201845).
