Hi mcguires13,<br />
<br />
You need to change the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar<wbr />e\Microsof<wbr />t\OLE\Enab<wbr />leDCOM to &quot;N&quot;, if you have an active directory domain you can modify the registry via Group Policy or run a Logon Script.<br />
<br />
See this &quot;How to disable DCOM support in Windows&quot; <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825750" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825750</a>&nbsp;for more info.<br />

Hi mcguires13,

You need to change the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE\EnableDCOM to "N", if you have an active directory domain you can modify the registry via Group Policy or run a Logon Script.

See this "How to disable DCOM support in Windows" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825750 [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825750] for more info.

Disabling DCOM on remote clients

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
