Hi
I'm getting a load of Event 10009 DistributedCom errors in the event log of an SBS2008 server.
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer %computername% using any of the configured protocols.
I have followed this procedure on the server:
Check the firewall settings and enable the firewall exception rule
To check the firewall settings and enable the firewall exception rule:
1.Click Start, and then click Run.
2.Type wf.msc, and then click OK. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
3.In the console tree, click Inbound rules.
4.In the list of firewall exception rules, look for COM+ Network Access (DCOM In).
5.If the firewall exception rule is not enabled, in the details pane click Enable rule, and then scroll horizontally to confirm that the protocol is TCP and the LocalPort is 135. Close Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.
THis has not resolved the issue.
Do I need to set trhe same exception in all the client's -- if so, can I do this using Group Policy?
