There is nothing wrong in the DB, MSDTC configuration are oK on the SQLserver and the Web01 node. This is for vCAC 6.1 with .Net Framework 4.5.1 installed. (Even 4.5.2 did not work)

Any help is much appreciated..

Is your IaaS system built from Clone? If so, you will need to uninstall and reinstall MSDTC with an msdtc -uninstall and mstdc -install in powershell respectively. Also, look at your SQL server and make sure all the MSDTC setting are set correctly that your firewall service is enabled but that your firewall is off.  Also, check the timeout settings on your SQL Instance in the Configuration Manager.

Thanks,

Have you done the IAAS configuration manually  , just install a vannila windows server  after checking the compatibility matrix in vmware site . take a snapshot of the VM once done.

For IAAS strongly recommending you to install the OS from ISO (Please don't clone , if you are cloning you have to do the MSDTC uninstall re-install ) , 

Once the OS installation over , install all the patches using windows update and run this script https://github.com/vtagion/Scripts/blob/master/vCAC62-PreReq-Automation.ps1 .

While installing IAAS it will do a pre-requisite check and it will provide few of the blockages.

Few more things needs to check .

IAAS time , VCAC , SSO time should be equal and correct.

Since you are doing the Distributed Deployment ,  in Loadbalancer necessary port should be opened  and the loadbalancer virtual vcac fqdn you need to provide in IAAS installation.

Most important thing in IAAS installation all the components in vcac deployment reverse and forward lookup should work , or else you will end-up with error , please check this .

For all the componets and loadbalancer ip's do the nslookup FQDN and IP

Hello, Could you try these steps to validate if you LB is working fine, 1) IIS is already installed on the server 2) Bind port 443 to default website selecting the certificate 3) Make sure that only one active node is selected in the load balancer 4) try hitting the LB IAAS web IP to check if the LB is correctly redirecting the connection on port 443 to your IAAS web

Had something similar and while LB was also something I looked into, maybe the solution I posted here may help:
