About MTS application
• An MTS (Microsoft Transaction Server) application contains one or more components/objects.
• Components can be either- Server Application- Library Application
• In Server Application component executes in a separate server process.
• In Library Application component executes in process of client.

How COM works in server application and client application
Server Application
• Component executes out- of process.
• If component misbehaves it cannot kill the client.• Slower execution (Suited for web application)
Client Application
• Component executes in-process.
• If component misbehaves it can kill the client.
• Faster execution.
MTS maintains the standard COM principal of Location Transparency. Client component access a component without knowing actual physical location of component. MTS stores this information in windows registry.
