The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

Hi,

I am facing the below mentioned error:

The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].

I have a Insert statement which i am using to insert data into a remote server from my local server. I have added the remote server as a linked server in my local server but when i try to execute the statement i am getting the above mentioned error. I am using Windows Enterprise Edition 2003 and SQL Server 2000.

I have also enabled the Allow InBound and Allow OutBound in the security configuration of My Computer properties but still i am facing the same problem. Kindly let me know how to resolve this issue.

Thanks.
