What is it? Distributed Transaction Coordinator - msdtc.exe
What does msdtc.exe do? The best straight up explanation of this was found on THIS page. A quote from part of it:
MSDTC
is an acronym for Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator. As the
name says, MSDTC is a Windows service providing transaction
infrastructure for distributed systems. In this case, a transaction
means a general way of structuring the interactions between autonomous
agents in a distributed system. Each transaction is a state
transformation with four key properties - the ACID properties: Atomic
(all or nothing), Consistent (legal), Isolated (independent of
concurrent transactions) and Durable (once it happens, it cannot be
abrogated). More Details
