SYMPTOMS
When you use the Component Services Snap-in to stop Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC), you may receive the following error message:
More information about the error is located in the Winerror.h file:
Error Number : 8007041B or -2147023845
Error ID : ERROR_DEPENDENT_SERVICES_RUNNING
Error Message : A stop control has been sent to a service that other running services are dependent on.
CAUSE
When a service has dependent services, you must stop the dependent services before you stop the main service. Because MS DTC has dependent services (typically MSMQ), the above-mentioned error occurs when you do not stop the dependent service before you stop MS DTC.
RESOLUTION
Because Administrative Tools automatically stops all dependent services before it stops the main service, you can stop MS DTC from Administrative Tools to work around this problem:
- On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
- Right-click Distributed Transaction Coordinator, and then click Stop.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Make sure that MS DTC has a dependent service.
- On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Component Services.
- Click to expand the Component Services, Computers, and My Computer nodes.
- Right-click My Computer, and then click Stop MS DTC.
