While checking for Windows Defender not working - error - 8000106ba - The solution is sfc /scannow - I did it. It repaired the Win Defender but our old problem of MSDTC>LOG re-appeared. Now that I had got it fixed properly through the script and all that....what went wrong again. This is the same situation as I had done with copy - Paste sfcFix.... That means something else is wrong ... If I remember correctly, somewhere I had read on the net that MSDTC.LOG location was changed subsequently after SP1 or SP2 via an update but the Protected file folder still maintains the location at some old position...hence, when sfc /scannow done ...it shows file is missing. Either the error is to be ignored or what to do ? Because the error is recurring.... (If possible I will search for that MSDTC.LOG position change article again on net and forward it to you)....So MS has done some changes and forgotten to set it right in the protected folder as well.... What a mess!!! Please see the attached CBS .log and sfcfix log . Thanks. Bindesh. Attachments cbslog.txt 62.4 KB · Views: 1 SFCFix.txt 1.9 KB · Views: 2

B Bright Future Contributor Joined Nov 8, 2016 Posts 98 Dec 11, 2016 #14 Re: MSDTC.LOG - sfcfix found it corrupt & cannot repair - Win Vista Starter 32 bit Dear BrianDrab, You are right.... I did as instructed..... 1- Used SFCFIX from Step 5. The results are as in attached file - SFCFix Step 5 Repeat.txt MSDTC.LOG file was repaired. 2- Run SFCFix (without any script) to check if repairs are done. The results are in SFCFixSimple1.txt (File attached) No corruptions found. Nothing to repair. 3- Run Admin CMD sfc /scannow to see if sfc is causing the error to recur. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations. The results are in sfc scannow result.txt and cbslog-Final.txt (both files attached) The problem is solved. But the question is - why / how did it recur in the first place?What could have gone wrong in last few days....may be a cleaner deleted MSDTC.LOG file?Is this file not a protected file?Anyway I am still searching for the article on internet that said something about the changed location of this file via an update and the resulting mis-match in the protected file details and the new / old location of the said file....The script solution that you have given me must be from a good PC with proper OS -- Copy - Paste, I suppose.... So whether mis-match or no mis-match if it is running properly on your PC then it must be OK to copy -paste on my PC...This is how sfcFix corrects the errors that cannot be repaired otherwise..... So all is well that ends well. Thanks. Bindesh.

But I came across something I thought I must put it in reply -- (The following is copy-paste from internet) -- Causes of MSDTC.LOG Errors MSDTC.LOG problems can be attributed to corrupt or missing files, invalid registry entries associated with MSDTC.LOG, or a virus / malware infection. More specifically, these MSDTC.LOG errors can be caused by: Corrupt Windows registry keys associated with MSDTC.LOG / Microsoft Windows. Virus or malware infection that has corrupted the MSDTC.LOG file or related Microsoft Windows program files. Another program maliciously or mistakenly deleted MSDTC.LOG-related files. Another program is in conflict with Microsoft Windows and its shared referenced files. Corrupt download or incomplete installation of Microsoft Windows software. Now we have got the lead --- Before the error recurs, I intend to do some R&D (Research & Destruction)...it will take time and lot of study....Hold-on to your seat bealts.....here we go!!! Bindesh.
