DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION

Hi,
I have two sql servers with SQL2000 service pack 3 which are linked by the "
Link Server". When i use the "begin tran" (distributed transaction) in store
d procedure, i am getting the following error.
"Server: Msg 8525, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new trans
action or the NULL transaction. "
The following article talks about this problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=834849
But, both servers are SQL 2000 in my case. Any help?
Thanks,
VijayHi, i'm going this trouble but the versions are different. Server A has Sql
server 2000 enterprise edition and the server B has Sql Server 7.0, both
servers are linked properly and running msdtc. No changes were made to their
configurations. If I run the sentence with Begin distributed tran and commin
distributed tran it end right but using that statement it fails with the
error commented is this post.
Any ideas?
