Dcom?...

[brodyhooperquint]

Hi...When I go into the event viewer I see a lot of errors under the source name of DCOM. Some of the errors are connected to the netman and winmgmt services. These DCOM errors are very annoying as they always appear in the event viewer after every boot up. I can't seem to get rid of them. Does anyone know what DCOM means and how I get rid of the error messages?

Many thanks from Colin.

They are common and benign. usually caused by disabling COM+ which is a good thing. COM+ is another one of M$ attempts at making windows even more insecure.
