Hello.

I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I have just installed a clean Windows 2008 SBS (with all the service packs and updates) and have these errors in the event log:

Quote:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1} 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.

I don't know why they are appearing on a clean installation, I haven't installed any software or changed any setings yet. Can anyone help me fix the problem?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris.

The GUID 61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1 corresponds to the service IIS WAMREG Admin Service. Here's what you can do to fix it...

1. Click Start then Run and type "dcomcnfg". Click OK.

2. Expand Console Root\Component Services\Computers\My Computer\DCOM Config

3. Find "IIS WAMREG Admin Service" in the list, right click then choose Properties, and on the Security tab, click Customize.

4. Grant the Network Service account "Launch and Activation" permissions.

5. Click OK.

You may need to reboot then check the event log again.
