Microsoft Transaction Server experience

Hello everybody,

I'm about using MTS + COM technology.
Have you an experience with MTS and its COM components ?

Is it safe / stabile platform for bussiness 3-tiered applications ?
Which SP of WIN NT 4.0 are you using ?

Thanks in advance


Richard

>MTS experience?
whenever you have NT 4 and Option Pack 4 installed with IIS4, MTS will be installed automatically. AFAIK, there is no IIS-Web without using MTS. So, yes, all IIS-Web-Developers have some experience with MTS, although they might not know it :-)

> is it safe/stable?
only last week we could easily cause an exception in MTS that stopped all Web services on IIS with an ASP! We didn't even use any 3rd-party ActiveX components on the server, just plain ADO and ASP.
So, is it stable? kind of, may be :-)

>SP?
NT 4 SP 5

Lothar, thank you very much for your reply.

Do you also use MTS without IIS/ASP ?
(I mean WIN32 non http clients.)
