You can configure background tracing with the Local DTC Properties sheet in the Component Services snap-in. You can use this interface to configure background tracing only; you cannot use it to control the tracing of individual transactions or to control trace settings remotely. To configure Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) tracing, you can select output options and logging options. You can use logging options to control the log file for the trace data.
Membership in Administrators, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
