Re: Remote DCOM on WinCE 6.0

Well, I haven't done that as much. You certainly will need to have a unique
name on the network, as in the client case. You probably also need to use
NTLMSetUserInfo() to create a user name/password combination that matches
the identity that the client will be using. You'd also need to arrange for
allowing the selected user name to start the server or, at least, access the
server remotely. I don't remember how this is done, specifically, though.
Your debug log may be indicating something, there...

Thank you very much, Paul, for your reaction.

In fact, the WinCE device will run the server, not the client. If you can
come up with the list for this case, that would be very much appreciated!

OK. In CE5 and earlier, you have to do the following or Remote DCOM
won't
work:

1. You have to have a unique device name on the network. This is the item
set in the System Control Panel applet on the Device Name tab. After
changing this, you have to restart the Windows CE device.

2. It appears that your CE device is the client, not the server, yes? If
so, you must change the user name/password on the Owner Control Panel
applet's Network ID tab to be a user name and password that the remote
server will recognize and allow to perform the operation.

3. You have to make sure that your code to actually create the remote
object
uses the same user name and password as the Owner applet. It also needs
to
call CoInitializeEx appropriately (apartment threaded).

4. You have to make sure that you have an installed proxy for the remote
object, of course, on the Windows CE device.

If you are the server, not the client, post back and I'll try to come up
with the list for that case, too.

Once you have all of that, run your DCOM client application in the
debugger
on CE. Trace to where you call CoCreateInstance() and watch what DLLs
are
loaded when you make that call. What are they? Is the security DLL,
secur32.dll, I think it is in CE5, loaded? The proxy? You might also
check
and make sure that DCOM is enabled. When you have it in your CE5 OS, the
registry entries that come with it automatically turn it on, but that
might
not be the case for this CE6 add-on.

Well, I guess it *is* supported after installing this toolkit:

which we did....

It's not supported. Don't you see that in the OS documentation? I
seem
to
remember it being all over the place. DCOM is supported, in the sense
that
you can use out-of-process COM on Windows CE 6.0, if you build the
right
pieces into the OS, but Remote DCOM is not.

The company I work for is implementing control of a piece of
equipment
on
an
ARM-based board running Windows CE 6.0. The board is to be
controlled
from
a
PC running XP Embedded. We will use DCOM. We applied the DCOM .msi
to
Platform Builder to incorporate DCOM remoting in CE 6.0. The network
is
closed, so we do not have to be worried about security issues.

We've been struggling for two weeks now to get DCOM remoting to
work,
but
it
does not yet. We've created a demo application on WinCE that creates
a
COM
server inproc, but outproc just does not work. Below, you see some
logging.
Whatever we change, we just keep getting an 80070005 upon calling
CoCreate().

My question is whether there is some kind of readme on how to set up
remote
DCOM in CE 6.0 ?

I understand from blogs and discussion groups there's a lot to set
up
to
get
remote DCOM to work in CE6.0. In
microsoft.public.windowsce.embedded,
on
8th
July this year, John Spaith stated there's an example available for
CE5.0
to
add numbers across distributed machines. Is such an example
available
for
CE
6.0 too?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
