The MSDTC transaction manager's WS-AtomicTransaction protocol service 'Version10' is disabled and cannot unmarshal incoming transactions

Question

I have my binding specified like this in the Service hosted in windows server 2008.

<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="transactionalWsHttpBinding"
         transactionFlow="true" />
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

I have not installed the WSAtomicTransaction roles in the server where the service is hosted.

when I am trying to consume the above hosted service from a different machine, I am getting the following error message.

The flowed transaction could not be unmarshaled. The following exception    occurred: The MSDTC transaction manager's WS-AtomicTransaction protocol service 'Version10' is disabled and cannot unmarshal incoming transactions.

should I install the ws-atomic feature ? If I am trying to install the WSAtomic transaction feature in Server, I am forced to add a certificate, should I implement the certificate based authentication?

This worked for me. You may try this.

Open component services in server machine and expand component services and then expand computers expand my computer and expand distributed transaction coordinator right click local DTC open properties: Go to Security tab, enable Network DTC Access and then enable Allow Inbound in Transaction manager communication leave other settings.

Now open Component Services in Client machine follow above and go to local DTC properties open security tab , enable Network DTC Access and then enable Allow Outbound in Transaction manager communication leave other settings.
