Error opening COM+ in Component Services

[cgeorge28]

If I try to open Computers folder in Component Services,
I get a Catalog Error message box, saying

"Error Code 8004E00F - COM+ was unable to talk to
the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator

The event log may contain additional troubleshooting
information"

Is there a missing component or setting from this Win2k Prof?

Is the service running?

I checked with the DBA person who is also the default system administrator and he said that this MDTC component is not installed on the server. Does he have to install this component on the server or is there a component that I have to install on my machine or initialize some sort of service?

The component needs to be installed on the server, and the service needs to be running.
