I have an active/active setup with 3 groups. Two SQL Groups and one cluster group that also contains the DTC. I am 99% sure that I setup everything correctly and everything appears to be running fine. The issue is that in SQL Mgmt Studio, the instance that is running on the physical node that owns the Cluster group (therefor has the DTC) shows the Distributed Transaction Coordinator as online. The instance running on the other node show it as offline. Is this correct behavior? I am not a SQL Expert, and know enough to get things up and running and maintain them. Thanks in advance!

no. your setup is incorrect. MSDTC should be in it's own group separate frmo the other cluster groups. Read this article for details http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301600/en-us

snivek, that's correct. Only instance that has same owner as dtc does will show running status.
