    The MS DTC Connection Manager is unable to register with RPC to use one of LRPC, TCP/IP, or UDP/IP. Please ensure that RPC is configured properly. If "ServerTcpPort" registry key is configured(DWORD value under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSDTC for local DTC instance or under cluster hive for clustered DTC instance), please verify if the configured port is valid and the port is not already in use by a different component.

    String message: RPC raised an exception with a return code RPC_S_INVALIDA_ARG..

I found that we can use -resetlog command. But this doesnot resolving my problem:

Firewall is disabled.

Answer 1

Try to delete key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet from registry.

Answer 2

To get around this issue, I had to copy the log file (I accidentally deleted) to the location specified by the Local DTC Log information location.
