My interpretation of these audit's is that the MSDTC service is trying to
modify it's log files and failing, due to incorrect permissions. However,
both files have full access given to the NETWORK SERVICE account. Can anyone
provide any suggestions on how to fix this permissions issue and remove
these failure audits? Thanks...
