SYMPTOMS

When accessing Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) via the MMC the following error occurs:

An error occurred accessing components in the System package on this computer. Error code was 80040154. Make sure that:

+ If you have set a specific identity for the system package, check that the user account and password are correct, and user is a member of the local NT Administrators group.

The only option is an OK button that returns to the MMC.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION

To resolve the problem, re-register the catalog object, Mtxcatex.dll, by running regsvr32.exe as in the following example:


regsvr32.exe C:\winnt\system32\mts\mtxcatex.dll

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
