SUMMARY
This article outlines platform support for the EnterpriseServices namespace.



MORE INFORMATION
System.EnterpriseServices is supported only on the following platforms:
 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Microsoft recommends Service Pack 3)
 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Server (Microsoft recommends Service Pack 3)
 * Microsoft Windows XP Professional
 * Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family

EnterpriseServices (optionally) provides transaction support for Microsoft .NET applications. Because Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) runs exclusively on a platform that is not supported by EnterpriseServices (Microsoft Windows NT 4.0), .NET components must not be targeted at MTS. Instead, .NET applications that require a transactional element must target Microsoft COM+, which is available in Windows 2000 and later versions of the operating system. No support is available for .NET components that run under MTS.
