Hi Andreas,

MS DTC misconfiguration is the most common reason for the occurence of
"failed to save basket as an order"... I would recommend you go through the
MS DTC component configuration in terms of "remote clients", "XA
transactions", even the presence/absence of Windows Server 2003 SP1 has an
known impact on these settings. There is a KB which discusses the changes
that need to be made to MS DTC configuration after the installation of Win2k
3
SP1.
