    I have found all the articles out here on the admin console not working after
    SP2. I applied those to other peoples m,achines and they are working fine. I
    did SP2 on my machine and it won't connect and says connection failed. I
    reinstalled the sms admin console and still no help. I uninstalled SP2 and
    the console works great. Here is an event that happens every time I try to
    open the console with SP2 installed. It looks like DCOM can't talk to my SMS
    server. I looked at the firewall and it is off. I added 135 and unsecapp.exe
    to the exception and ran dcomcnfg to grant access for the anonymous group.
    Anyone else with an idea?

    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: DCOM
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 10009
