RE: DCOM error...



Hi,

Thanks for your update!

I am sorry for the delayed response due to weekend. Please understand that
the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support professionals to
answer your systems and applications questions. Your understanding is
greatly appreciated!

First, may I know have you applied SP1 on the Windows Server 2003 DC? If
yes, please check the following:

Windows Server 2003 SP1 introduces enhanced default security settings for
the DCOM protocol. Specifically, SP1 introduces more precise rights that
give an administrator independent control over local and remote permissions
for launching, activating, and accessing COM servers.

Windows Server 2003 SP1 introduces enhanced default security settings for

As the Windows Server 2003 Certificate Services provides enrollment and
administration services by using the DCOM protocol, I suspect that it may
be the cause of the problem.

Suggestions:
=============
1. Please check to ensure that a new security group, CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS,
has been created after applied the SP1.

2. Please add the "Domain Users", "Domain Computers", "Domain Controllers"
groups to the new CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS security group.

3. If possible, please backup the other Windows Server 2003 DC (without
SP1), and then apply Service Pack 1 on it as well.

4. Then, we can have Certificate Services update the DCOM security settings
by running the following commands:

certutil -setreg SetupStatus -SETUP_DCOM_SECURITY_UPDATED_FLAG
net stop certsvc
net start certsvc

Please check if the problem has been fixed.

I look forward to your reply. Also, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am happy to help. :-)

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu
