Like a million others out there, I've got sbs08 boxes getting flooded with DCOM 10009 errors in the system log.<br />
<br />
Is there any way of either fixing the issues, or simply limiting the flood of the events.<br />
<br />
The error: DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer &lt;workstation&gt; using any of the configured protocols.<br />
<br />
I'm seeing it for many different workstations. &nbsp;Some have accounts in AD. &nbsp;I've set the windows firewall via GPO to allow remote admin and f/p sharing per the countless &quot;fixes&quot; out there.<br />
<br />
Still seeing a flood of these.<br />
