Odd permissions/domain problem with DCOM

We have a data collection DCOM service running on one of our machines.
The machine is becoming increasingly flaky, so we're trying to replace
it with a new one. This is proving extremely difficult, because every
time we bring up the new machine and attempt to contact it, we get a
70, Permission Denied.

I have used dcomcfng to ensure that DCOM is enabled. I added Domain
Users to the Default Permissions and ensured they had both local and
remote activation turned on. I then visited the application itself
under the components window and added the same groups and permissions
there as well. No dice. Just to be sure, I edited the permission on
the file itself (in the root of C) and gave the domain access there as
well. Same problem.

We found that we could get it to work by adding the user to the Users
control panel. This seems to suggest that the new machine is having a
problem authenticating users on the domain. Does this make sense? I am
logging into the machine as a domain user, so it's not something like
a network problem.

Any advice?

Out of curiosity, where would I find any sort of logging of DCOM
errors? Security errors like this should show up in the even viewer,
and I would HOPE that DCOM errors are also logged, but I don't see a
thing. Filtering?

Hi Maury

Add the users to the Group "distributed COM Users"

Good luck
