ID: Q182638

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

Inadvertently, you can add the local computer's COMTI snap-in to Microsoft Management Console (MMC) twice. The first time is by adding the local snap- in; the second time is by adding the same snap-in, having first selected the local machine name.

To demonstrate the problem, perform the following steps:

1. Start the COMTI Administration Tool; that is , start MMC with local

   machine snap-in for COMTI.

2. On the Console menu, select Add/Remove SnapIn.

3. Add COM Transaction Integrator snap-in.

4. In the Chooser dialog box, select Another Computer and type the name of

   the local computer.

You end up with two copies of the Administration snap-in, which can confuse later updates.

STATUS
