Amnesia Workstation Configuration

For the rollbacks after each automated test you will need to make a couple of configuration changes to get MS Distributed Transaction Coordinator working. You’ll need to do this on any developer system that will be running the tests.
  1. Ensure the Distributed Transaction Coordinator windows service is running (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services)
  2. Enable MS DTC. Run Component Services and use these settings for My Computer > Local DTC: Config-ComponentServices.png
  3. Ensure that your firewall settings permit MS DTC to work properly. Run Windows Firewall and verify the Distributed Transaction Coordinator has Domain and Home/Work access. Windows Firewall > Allowed Programs Config-Firewall.png
