Collect MSDTC trace logs, access denied

During a support case, I needed to collect MSDTC trace logs. However, I ran into the issue of not having access to the c:\windows\system32\msdtc folder.

The way to access this folder and the trace files collected, is to do it via an elevated command prompt. Running cmd as administrator will give you access to the folder and allow you to copy the needed trace files.
