Hi,
All our DCOM applications rely on callbacks from the server to the
client. And
with the onset of XP SP2, all these have started to fail as SP2
suppresses
callbacks with the credentials of 'ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

Looks like we will have to use the same flag -
RPC_IF_ALLOW_CALLBACKS_WITH_NO_AUTH to solve our miseries. But I have
no clue as
to how to go about using this. Can anyone please explain in brief the
APIs that
I will have to use in this case.

Thanks a lot.

regards
mayank kedia
