DESCRIPTION:    An error occurred while recovering the database 'Test_database'. Unable to connect to Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) to check the completion status of transaction (7:947605711). Fix MS DTC, and run recovery again.

we need to follow the steps below to bring the database online. 

This will mark all the MSDTC transactions as failed and allow you to start the database. It's a better idea to use backup/restore to refresh the database, though

Step 1: Stop the post refresh job

Step 2: Run the following command

sp_configure 'in-doubt xact resolution',2  

GO

RECONFIGURE

GO

 Step 3: Take the database offline and make it online. 

Step 4: Run the below command

sp_configure 'in-doubt xact resolution',0

GO

RECONFIGURE

GO

Step 5: Run the post refresh job

-

 Issue:  The SQL Server service for our cluster could not be brought online during a recent failover due to registry not found error(s). How can we correct this issue? Sometimes the SQL Server service cannot be brought online when there is a failover to another node in the cluster. When you check the error logs, you may have noticed that the SQL Server service could not be brought online due to certain registry entries.  Here is an example of such error messages: [sqsrvres] GetRegKeyAccessMask: Could not get registry access mask for registry key Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.<InstanceName>\Replication (status 2)). [sqsrvres] Worker Thread (358930): Failed to retrieve the Replication registry key (last error = 0).
