In effort to move the MS Distributed Transaction Coordinator to its new LUN on SCALE-1, the “File Server” resource on the SharePoint SQL Instance will not come online anymore. The file server resource is not used by SharePoint or any other system It’s failed state has not affected anything, but it annoys that it won’t come back online. The DTC role has the same name and IP address as its predecessor.
The Questions are: Do we even need this feature on the SQL instance? If so, how to make it start? If not, is it safe to delete?
Thanks,
