Charles,
I think you identified the issue exactly. The error no longer appears in
the event log. I'm hitting another issue which I believe is unrelated, so I
think I'm good for now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Hi,.
I understand that you encountered the DCOM local activation permission
issue on Vista; however your application worked fine on Windows XP.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.
I would like to know if you run dcomcnfg.exe to explicitly to configure the
user BLAH with Local Activation and Local Launch permissions.
Windows Vista indeed do some changes in handling DCOM and you may need to
program to implement the permission. I recommend that you refer to the
section "COM Permissions and Mandatory Access Labels" of this article:
The COM Elevation Moniker
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms679687.aspx
For your convenience, I extract it here:
===================================
Windows Vista introduces the notion of Mandatory Access Labels in security
descriptors. The label dictates whether clients can get execute access to a
COM object. The label is specified in the system access control list (SACL)
portion of the security descriptor. In Windows Vista, COM supports the
SYSTEM_MANDATORY_LABEL_NO_EXECUTE_UP label. SACLs in the COM permissions
are ignored on operating systems prior to Windows Vista.
In Windows Vista, dcomcnfg.exe does not support changing the integrity
level (IL) in COM permissions. It must be set programmatically.
The following code example shows how to create a COM security descriptor
with a label that allows launch/activation requests from all LOW IL
clients. Note that the labels are valid for Launch/Activation and Call
permissions. Thus, it is possible to write a COM server that disallows
launch, activation or calls from clients with a certain IL. For more
information about integrity levels, see the section "Understanding Windows
Vista's Integrity Mechanism" in Understanding and Working in Protected Mode
Internet Explorer.
BOOL GetLaunchActPermissionsWithIL (SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR **ppSD)
{
// Allow World Local Launch/Activation permissions. Label the SD for LOW IL
Execute UP
LPWSTR lpszSDDL = L"O:BAG:BAD:(A;;0xb;;;WD)S:(ML;;NX;;;LW)";
if (ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptorW(lpszSDDL,
SDDL_REVISION_1, (PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR *)&pSD, NULL))
{
*ppSD = pSD;
return TRUE;
}
}
BOOL SetLaunchActPermissions(HKEY hkey, PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR pSD)
{
BOOL bResult = FALSE;
DWORD dwLen = GetSecurityDescriptorLength(pSD);
LONG lResult;
lResult = RegSetValueExA(hkey,
"LaunchPermission",
0,
REG_BINARY,
(BYTE*)pSD,
dwLen);
if (lResult != ERROR_SUCCESS) goto done;
bResult = TRUE;
done:
return bResult;
};
==================================
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.
