  Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator -- End Point Mapper

Category: INFRASTRUCTURE      

Application: Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator      

The Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) service is a component of modern versions of Microsoft Windows that is responsible for coordinating transactions that span multiple resource managers, such as databases, message queues, and file systems.

This SonicWALL signature identifies legitimate DTC traffic. This detection is based on a UUID found during an RPC call. Due to the lack of documentation, it is not always possible to determine the exact version of an application based on UUIDs. Please see the "Microsoft RPC End Point Mapper" signature(s) for more information.
