DCOM error in Event Logs on Server 2003

Postby Sisco22 » Wed Sep 03, 2008 6:00 pm

Hey guys,
I am getting this error and can't figure out what i need to do about it.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10016
Date: 9/3/2008
Time: 12:56:07 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
Computer: IMIAPP02
Description:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{BA126AD1-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.


I get this explanation and don't know what user or whatever to put in there. Can anyone help?


Explanation
A program, the Clsid displayed in the message, tried to start the DCOM server by using the DCOM infrastructure. Based on the security ID (SID), this user does not have the necessary permissions to start the DCOM server.


User Action
Verify that the user has the appropriate permissions to start the DCOM server.

To assign permissions

Using Regedit, navigate to the following registry value
HKCR\Clsid\clsid value\localserver32
The clsid value is the information displayed in the message.
In the right pane, double-click Default. The Edit String dialog box is displayed. Leave this dialog box open.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Component Services.
In the Component Services snap-in, expand Computers, expand My Computer, and double-click DCOM Config.
In the right pane, locate the program by using its friendly name.
Right-click the program name, and then select Properties.
On the Security tab, in the Launch and Activation Permissions group box, select Customize, and then click Edit.
Add the user to the permissions list, and give the user the appropriate permissions.

Do a search on the registry (under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID specifically) for an entry that matches the CLSID. On my XP Install it comes up as Network Connection Class Manager (or NETMAN) and it also lists an AppId entry as well.

Then simply follow the instructions in the second part of your post and assign Remot Launch and Local Activation permissions to the Network Service user. If you still get the problems then give the Network Service Local Launch/Activation permissions.
