MSDTC Service

Hi,
I could not find MSDTC service from Control Panel --> Services for SQL
Server 2000 on Win 2000 and Win 2003. There are only MSSQLSERVER and
SQLSERVERAGENT 2 services. I need to change the startup account password. I
have changed password for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent account via SEM.
But there is not place to change password for MSDTC startup from SEM. MSDTC
is in Control Pannel -->Services for SQL 7.0. How can I find it for SQL 2000
on Win 2000 and Win 2003?
Thanks,
JuliaThe name of the service is 'Distributed Transaction Coordinator". There is
only one instance per computer and does not appear in EM. Like all
services, it can be managed using the Services MMC.
The service runs under NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService by default. This is a
minimally privileged account so one usually doesn't need to change it.

Hope this helps.
