Well, after following lots of tutorials and researching a lot about it, I had changed all the configuration I thought was necessary for it to work, but it still didn't.

Today we had to force a power reboot on our development server because of a faulty no-break, and when we booted up the server, guess what? It works!

So just for the record, I've changed some specific MSDTC configuration, added it as a linked server and allowed RPC IN and OUT, and changed the RPC configuration for 'NO AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED' or something like that.

I remember reading somewhere that after you changed this configuration, a reboot was required, even though Windows says that it has already restarted the service.

I had rebooted my server like... twice since I changed it, and it still didn't work. But as today, after a complete turn off and turn on, it works!

As for the syntax, I kept the same.
