Event ID: 10016 - cannot edit security tab in DCOM Config


Recommended Posts

The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

{AB8902B4-09CA-4BB6-B78D-A8F59079A8D5}

to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

The solution to this problem is:

CAUSE

This problem may occur if either of the following conditions is true:

? A program with the class ID (CLSID) that appears in the message tries to start the COM component by using the DCOM infrastructure. However, the user does not have the required permissions to start the COM component.

? The Network Service account does not have the correct permissions.

However, when I follow the instructions (the article is for XP 64bit but I'm using Vista and the steps follow the same) I don't have the ability to edit settings in the "Launch and Activation Permissions" tab in the DCOM properties.

This DCOM function is related to Thumbnail Cache Out of Proc Server. Having look at the time it was created (and there's dozens of entries covering several minutes), it might be to do with thumbnail creation in my external HD where I store all my videos (which have a wide range of formats including rmvb, avi, mkv and mpg)

See screenshot for the tab where I'm having difficulty:

I'm running dcomcnfg from an administrator account with administrator rights.

I've been unable to find a solution to the problem of being unable to edit the above Security field.

Can anyone help?

I have the exact same problem. Googled this and nobody seems to have the solution.

Any ideas? Seems to crash my media computer after a while (this is my "Media" PC that I uses to serve videos, music and pictures to my PS3 and other PCs)

I had the same problem with grayed out/disabled security tab in DCOM configuration.

This one helped me, just replace 'CertSrv Request' with the name of your DCOM component and

the key {D99E6E74-FC88-11D0-B498-00A0C90312F3} with the key of your DCOM component:

    • I agree with open rights group that the age check companies should be regulated but action does need to be taken imo, they may be called irresponsible parents but the fact is that many don't know how to set up blocks. Why should kids suffer because their parents don't know something? I think the UK has always been a bit like this. We don't say healthcare is your responsibility, we tax everyone and make people register with the NHS. We also don't expect everyone to brush their teeth to maintain dental health, we just put fluoride in their water assuming people aren't brushing enough, because some probably aren't or aren't doing it properly. In general, this way of doing things works.
    • Well that's the weird thing, the UK really isn't a very religious country at all and the same politicians that are backing this (basically all of them) also support things like assisted dying which various religions spoke out against. I don't think this is coming from religion, of course religious groups will support it but I don't think they've started it.
    • No.  The only thing you'll be able to capture with that is via antenna (your local NBC, CBS, etc) or if you had a regular cable box you could capture ClearQAM channels (if they are still a thing...probably not though).  Everything else will have encryption which those capture cards aren't meant for.   So yeah...you'll need Verizon's DVR (sucks if you have to pay for it).
    • I've gotta say Microsoft has lost the plot a long, long, long time ago.
    • How is it be technically implemented, I mean if you wanted to include this let's say on this website, at what point do you interrupt the user flow and say yo! Show me your ID or get the hell out? Please go into extreme technical detail. Is it using a third-party, how much information does neowin receive from that third-party, at what point would that information be abused? We all know it would be abused. So hypothetically what would neowin receive from that third-party company?
