Can anyone explain exactly what this may be? It displays anonymous login and so i need to make sure nothings happening in the background. Heres a dump of the event log message:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10016
Date: 21/09/2007
Time: 11:15:52
User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON
Computer: UKLPGCOM01
Description:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Remote Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{5A5AA0AA-1DEB-4683-96B0-B
to the user NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON SID (S-1-5-7). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Ahh right i see, it seems to be pointing to a HP Port, this is a copy from the reg key, it seems harmless enough although can i turn this off inthe event log as theres so many error messages relating to this its hard to view anything else!

Check the registry entry for CLSID 5A5AA0AA-1DEB-4683-96B0-B4 3301E83971 and paste the information back here. Is your RDP service on?
