Disabling DCOM in an A.D. domain
During a recent internal security audit, our Qualys scanner flagged a Sev3 vuln on our servers. It is a generic vuln for DCOM being enabled (QID 90042)
It suggested disabling DCOM which seems easy enough to do. My question is whether or not there may be adverse effects in an A.D. domain.

With any security scan you have to weight the results in proportion to your organization. For example security requirements for a Hospital would differ from that of a Research College. There is no one shoe fits!!!!
I'd be looking enabling the firewalls and opening up DCOM as needed as an alternative.
