    System Event Log 10016 Source: DCOM

    Hi.
    I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit wth all the updates installed.

    I get error 10016 in the system event log every five minutes for the last
    week. It persists after re-boots. I have tried following the instructions
    in the following kb article.

    KB899965
    http://support.microsoft.com/default...b/899965/en-us

    The issue I have is when I follow the instructions in the KB article is that
    when using dcomcnfg, the drop down lists are disabled and therefore I can't
    change any of the launch or activation permission settings.

    Question 1: Why are the drop down list boxes in the Launch and Activition
    Permission settings disabled?

    Question 2: How do I enable the drop down list boxes in the Launch and
    Activation Permission settings dialog box?

    Note: These events have been occuring ever since I installed Windows Vista
    Ultimate (since day one).

    Event Log details:

    Log Name: System
    Source: DistrubutedCOM
    Event ID: 10016
    Level : Error
    User: Network Service

    Description:
    The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation
    permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
    {AB8902B4-09CA-4BB6-B78D-A8F59079A8D5}
    to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20) from address
    LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the
    Component Services administrative tool.

    I did what the article said and could do any and all things. My user account
    as Admin rights.


    You need Admin rights.

    Good point. I should have mentioned in my original post that my account does
    have admin rights.

    However, the distributed COM Users group is empty. I added myself to that
    group but it didn't help.

    Also, other component services property dialog box items are enabled. Like
    the TrayDesktopBand component properties dialog drop down lists are enabled.
    I randomly looked at many components under DCOM Config and all the ones I
    clicked on are enabled. Only the "Thumbnail Cache Out of Proc Server" is
    disabled.

    I did nothing there.

    Thumbnail is enabled.
