My IT department has been struggling with this issue for several months and today it got escalated to me. I wanted to query anybody that has seen this issue that has MSDTC in a W2k8 R1 Cluster who also runs Mcafee VirusScan Enterprixe + ANtiSpyware Enterprise 8.8. Cases are open with both vendors and we have had no success with this issue.
It doesn't happen every day or every time, it's intermittent. THis is what happens. The McAfee Framework Service update the DAT from an enterprise server and within seconds the clustered instance of MSDTC fails and Event ID 1069 is logged in the system event view.
Cluster resource 'MSDTC-servername' in clustered service or application 'servername' failed.

I have a case open with Microsoft and they had me implement user mode dumps for the MSDTC process. I’m waiting for another occurrence.
