DCOM error at Event Viewer
Hello Forum,
I hope somebody can help me. I'm being flooded by the same error message in Event Viewer. It appeared about two months ago when I think I installed an MS update; I don't remember which one because they came in a batch.
Since then, every 10 minutes or less, there's the following error message:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10002
Date: 17/05/2004
Time: 07:20:16 AM
User: N/A
Computer: RES-DM-4
Description:
Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM Server. The server is:
{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
The user is Unavailable/Unavailable, SID=Unavailable.
My system is a Latitude laptop running Win2K, which I use at home and at work. I think it doesn't appear when I'm logged at work, but I'm not sure. I read this error is not really dangerous, but it IS annoying to have EV completely flooded with it.
Greetings
Alex

There are a huge number of hits resulting from a Google search for this error message. See if any of them apply to your situation.

Thank you for the reply.
Indeed, there are several other people apparently with exactly the same error message. So far nobody seems to know exactly the reason. Among the suggested solutions are: To deactivate DCOM, to ignore it, to do something else with the properties at DCOM Configuration. I'm going to try to deactivate it, and see if any of the programs complains about.

Did you ever figure out anything with your DCOM errors. I have 2 in particular that show up now after doing a clean reinstall of Windows and downloading all the critical updates. I have
The Com Event System failed to fire the connection made on method subscription category 52 event ID 4354
and a new one this evening after running scan disk and defrag showed up
The service database is locked attempting to start the service netman with arguments in order to run the servier. Source DCOM category none event ID 10005
I think sometimes if we didn't know enough to look into the event viewer we'd be better off, If I know something is in event viewer it bugs me until I find out if it is something to worry about.
