            Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator is not "on SQL Server" per se - it is a normal Windows Service. To start it, go to the command prompt and enter:
net start msdtc

            If you want to get access to MSDTC administration UI, go to Administration=>Component Services=>Local Computer. There you'll be able to manage the MSDTC via GUI.
