Performs a test on two specified computers to determine whether they can participate in networked transactions.
Test-Dtc [-LocalComputerName <String>] [-RemoteComputerName <String>] [-ResourceManagerPort <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]
This cmdlet performs the following tests on two computers to determine whether they can participate in networked transactions:
1. Checks if the required firewall rules are enabled.
2. Checks if the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) network security settings are correctly configured for network
transactions.
3. Checks if the two computers can ping each other.
4. Checks if a transaction can be propagated between the two computers.
