Re: Windows Firewall blocking LSASS, causing DCOM launch error



Jeffrey,

Yes, I have read about these changes in Windows Server 2003 SP1 and checked
the permissions. The user is not a member of the Distributed COM Users
group, but is a member of the Administrators group which gives them the
launch, activation and access permissions needed. I tried adding the user to
the Distributed COM Users group anyway, and it made no difference.

I think you missed the point that this is a firewall issue. If I disable the
Windows Firewall service, it works as expected.

Hi Paul,

Does the 2003 SP1 server have more than one network adapter, even if it is
disabled? Is Routing and Remote access enabled on the server?

Have you checked your DCOM security configuration on Win2003 SP1? Win2003
SP1 introduced the new "Distributed COM Users (Built in Group)". I see one
internal similar case was resolved by adding the user into the
"Distributed
COM Users" group so that the user has the "remote activation" permission.
Can you give it a try?

The article below contains more details of the default DCOM security
setting for various users and the security enhancement of Win2003 SP1:
"DCOM Security Enhancements in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows
Server
2003 Service Pack 1"

I will wait for your further information. Thanks.
