Description

Examples

Example 1: Set the default DTC coordinator 

PS C:\> Set-DtcDefault -ServerName "host14"

This command sets the default DTC coordinator to host14.

Optional Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs .

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-ServerName

Specifies the host name or virtual server name of the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) to set as the default coordinator. If you do not specify this parameter, this cmdlet specifies the local DTC as the default coordinator.

Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
