Configure the Microsoft DTC for a two-server environment

To establish communication between the Microsoft® IIS server and the Microsoft® SQL Server® Reporting Services server, you must configure the Microsoft® DTC when you install the Chalk™ Pushcast™ Software. In an environment that includes two servers, you must configure the Microsoft DTC on the server that you installed the Chalk Pushcast Software on and the server that you installed the database on.
