DCOM Error

Can anyone help resolve this one and only error I'm getting in the event viewer?

Thanks
Rockit

Not exact but close.

 

Tracked this down to the firewall software. Not sure how to fix it yet though?

 

Start->control panel->administrative tools->component services

 

Thanks Joe,
I followed your instructions and it prompted me to allow something (it was 3:30am and no coffee yet) and I said yes and so far the error's gone?

Thanks Again
Rockit

 

Spoke to soon,
I searched the registry for the string (BC866CF2-5486-41F7-B46B-9AA49CF3EBB1) and this is what it came up with "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppFilter.AppFilterSvr" Which is the firewall after all. I'm somewhat confused as what to do next? I tried adding the "User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" but it won't let me?

What next Joe?
Thanks
Rockit

 

as a quick fix, try adding 'everyone' to the permissions.

This looks like a case of the firewall not being sp2 compliant. NETWORK SERVICE had its permissions locked down in sp2, so you cant do what you used to be able to...

 

I gave permission to everything in the AppFilter Propertys page and this came back?

Hmm. i can tell by the error message you did in fact make a change, but still the error... Can you get a screen shot of your config, similar to what i did to show your permissions you have set now for Everyone. Grab each of the tabs, lets see what else might need a tune up

 

One of these things.. is not like the other.. one of these things, is not quite the same.

 

I'm confused Joe,
What do I need to do next?

Thanks
Rockit

 

make yours look like mine. Add Everyone and grant iit full permissions.

 

Tried that Joe and the error is still there? What componet under DCOM is it you want me to grant permissions to?

Maybe I selected the wrong one.

Thanks
Rockit

The broken one that has a GUID matching the event log errors.

 

Yup,
Thats the one I gave the permisions to and still getting the error.

Got me stumped

Thanks Joe
Rockit

 

what error are you getting now?

 

Same one. It just comes and goes.
