1 Unexpected error Contact Microsoft
2 An unexpected error occurred when trying to contact MSDTC to retrieve its security settings. Ensure that the MSDTC service is not disabled, and address all problems listed in the returned Exception.
3 The account under which WsatConfig.exe ran did not have sufficient permissions to read the network security settings. Execute WsatConfig.exe under an Administrator user account.
4 Enable "Network DTC Access" for MSDTC before trying to enable WS-AT support. Enable "Network DTC Access" for MSDTC and re-run the utility.
5 The entered port was out of range. The value must be in the range of 1 to 65535. Correct the -port:<portNum>

command line option as indicated in the error message.
6 An invalid endpoint certificate was specified on the command line. The certificate could not be found, or it did not pass verification. Correct the -endpointCert command line option. Ensure that the certificate has a private key, is intended to be used for both ClientAuthentication and ServerAuthentication, is installed in the LocalMachine\MY certificate store, and is fully trusted.
7 An invalid accounts certificate was specified on the command line. Correct the -accountsCerts command line option. The certificate specified was either improperly specified or it could not be found.
8 A default timeout was specified outside the range of 1 to 3600 seconds. Enter a correct default timeout value as indicated.
10 An unexpected error occurred while trying to access the registry. Check the error message and error code for actionable items
11 Cannot write to the registry. Ensure that the key listed in the error message is capable of supporting registry access from the account WsatConfig.exe was executed under.
12 An unexpected error occurred while trying to access the certificate store. Use the error code returned to map to the appropriate system error.
13 Configuration of http.sys failed. Cannot create a new HTTPS port reservation for MSDTC. Use the error code returned to map to the appropriate system error.
14 Configuration of http.sys failed. Cannot remove previous HTTPS port reservation for MSDTC. Use the error code returned to map to the appropriate system error.
15 Configuration of http.sys failed. A previous HTTPS port reservation already exists for the specified port. Another application has already taken ownership of the specific port. Change to a different port or uninstall or reconfigure the current application.
16 Configuration of http.sys failed. Cannot bind the specified certificate to the port. Use the error code returned in the error message to map to the appropriate system error
17 Configuration of http.sys failed. Cannot unbind the SSL certificate from the previous port. Use the error code returned in the error message to map to the appropriate system error. If necessary, use httpcfg.exe or netsh.exe to remove the erroneous port reservations.
18 Configuration of http.sys failed. Cannot bind the specified certificate to the port because a previous SSL binding already exists. Another application has already taken ownership of the specific port. Change to a different port or uninstall or reconfigure the current application.
19 Restarting MSDTC failed Manually restart MSDTC if necessary. If the problem persists, contact Microsoft.
20 WinFX is not installed on the remote machine, or is not installed correctly. Install WinFX on the machine.
21 Remote configuration failed due to the operation timing out. The call to configure WS-AT on the remote machine should take longer than 90 seconds.
22 WinFX is not installed on the remote machine, or is not installed correctly. Install WinFX on the machine.
23 Remote configuration failed due to an exception on the remote machine. Check the error message for actionable items
