| Background - this is dependency service for DTC (Distributed Transaction Co-ordinator) in SQL Server.When I attempt to start, Service Manager reports, "Error 1075: the dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion". I checked RPC, the dependency service, it's running.Event Viewer reports,"The Distributed Transaction Coordinator service depends on the following nonexistent service: SamSS"Any idea how I get hold of this service, which isn't listed in Admintools=>Services? Do I have to Net Start it, if so how? Do I have to install it? My installation disks sadly are in storage in another part of the country! Thanks all,Jaybee. |

| If there is no SamSS on the server, you can remove it from dependency by modifying registry. Backup the key first. |

| Before starting, double check the server if you find 'Security Accounts Manager' service on it. Is the service running? Is the server in any domain? |

| No on both counts - which is fine, it's a dev server. |

| The key is in hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services, ensure SamSs is not in the list. Then you can right click on msdtc and choose export, that will keep copy of the key in file. Once done, remove SamSS from DependOnService value. |

| Deleted most of the value but still no go, there are four zero's that are hard-coded into the key, I can't get rid of them. SamSS IS on the list.I'll try a reboot, failing that I'll drop and recreate the key tomorrow, it's getting late here!Thanks for your help today!Jaybee. |

| RMIAO,The reboot did the trick. Clearly the system was using a cached copy of the Registry, so I'd like to thank you again!I can't believe it's been nearly 10 years since my OS support days - never thought so much time would fly by so soon, or I'd still be IN computing!!! |
