DTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator)
In Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and the Windows Server 2003 family, the DTC is a system service that is part of COM+ services. COM+ components that use DTC can enlist ODBC connections in distributed transactions. This makes it possible to scale transactions from one to many computers without adding special code.
