MS Transaction Server

[AdyBow]

Hi,

Does anybody know if Microsoft Transaction Server is still used in business?

Just wondered, as it's part of my VC++ MCP course (administering MTS and DCOM) and concerned that, with the advent of .NET Web Services, it might now be useless and not worth bothering with?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Andy.

Hello Andy,

MTS is still very much used today. We actually used MTS extensively in a CRM project last summer. MTS is a powerful tool that can come in handy in most distributed applications. Even with .NET, MTS is at least worth a look into (you never know when you might need it). This is especially important for projects based on COM+ that have yet to be upgraded to .NET.
