Hi All,
since days, I am seeing the following event listed in my eventviewer:
Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM Server.
The server is:
{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
The user is Unavailable/Unavailable, SID=Unavailable.
This happens always shortly after I establish a connection to the internet.
Anyway, which programs I have open. I tried to open nothing else than the
computermanagement [just to see/wait for the event]. It comes always. I
created a new useraccount, just to be sure, that this does not depend on
settings in the profile. Result:It happens with each user, even new ones. A
full virus-scan gave no results. Spybot found no problems. BTW, the
mentioned DCOM server is MS Word. The event happens nearly each minute and
floods my eventlog. But I am afraid, that there can be more problems.
I do not know, how to anaylze the cause. Could someone please help?
I use Windows 2000 Server, english, SP4, all securityfixes, McAfee netshield
with latest engine and signature files. MS Office and the Net Development is
also installed, as SQL Server and Webserver. Everything patched fine.
Noone can log on to my box, I have removed the everyone access from the most
relevant settings [like access this computer from network, shares etc.]
