Funny you should mention the famous (or infamous more like it) DCOM error. I'm assuming you are referring to this one:
ID 10010 - "The server {784E29F4-5EBE-4279-9948-1E8FE941646D} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
ID 10016 - "The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}
and APPID
{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool."
Been there, done that, still got it.......... I think. Problem is, with this new error currently recording over 7,700 events its hard to find it mentioned anywhere in the log.
I wonder if there is a connection? The 'problem' is as I see it, it can't be right for this situation to just continue ad infinitum. It makes checking the Event log virtually impossible. With the number of machines running Windows world wide I still find it unbelievable that only 2 users are reporting this, plus, an error code reported which is not correct.
Perhaps you are right. The best approach maybe to just give in and start again. I'm busily backing up everything I can find prior to a fresh start. I have tried a new UAC, no change.
I will keep this thread open for the time being, just in case, and will update as and when there is any change.
Thanks for all your help this far............. you never know :)
