fix
The msdtc.log file can compete with the operating system paging file when installed to its default location. Additionally, on the Central Computer (DAS, Consolidator, Agent Manager) machine, the msdtc.log file can compete for memory with the persistent queue files used by the Consolidator. High performance drive implementations (e.g. RAID 5) could also increase efficiency if utilized.

CAUTION: Do not place the msdtc.log file on the same partition as database files as this could negatively affect performance.
