Event ID 10016 - DistributedCOM

[DelJo63]

I think this is what I want to change?
{F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}

This should be the same info as in the eventVwr detail

Where? I don't see it there! I think you have to go through the whole article for the fix.

Hi Please show me where you see F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169
in that post!

 

[DelJo63]

Yes, it's not the same - - I was hoping that referencing the value you showed and alluding to the EventVwr Details would be sufficient, but I guess I have to spell it all out in detail. Your message said

The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}
and APPID
{316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}

so these are the two values that need permission changes.

Hi @jobeard Thanks for your reply. I know that. If you read my link in my first post you would see that. I understand you have to change those permissions. I know those things and have done them. I used the tool "SetAcl.exe" to change the permission.
Step 3 — Taking ownership of the CLSID and APPID keys

Taking ownership of these registry keys can be done several ways. For those comfortable working with the Registry Editor application, this perhaps is a relatively simple way to achieve the goal.

For those less familiar with the Registry Editor, a safer way to do this is to make use of a Microsoft Tool especially developed for situations like this called SetACL.exe

Now it's important to realize this tool does not come with your Windows installation per se, but it can be freely downloaded from the following location: https://helgeklein.com/downloads/SetACL/current/SetACL (executable version).zip

My point was that the Detail record indicted a CSLID & APPID that was different that the one you keep referencing and thus, while the "fix was applied", it was to the wrong resources.

btw: the tool is nice

 

[holdum323]

Hi @jobeard I understand. This is what you have to change. That's what I changed. I also went into the registry and checked "Full Control" for "System" All is cool!(y)

 

[DelJo63]

And just how does the {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169} you show
match

Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}
and APPID
{316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}

from your detail record? Guess I need lessons in reading hex ....

Hi @jobeard IDK Thanks for helping.

 

[holdum323]

Hi @jobeard I just got a DCOM error. Is this different then the other?

 

[holdum323]

Here's screen shot of my registry. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

 

[DelJo63]

The newest is

The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}
and APPID
{316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}​

the original was

Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}
and APPID
{316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}​

so it is the same.

You keep showing that you are changing {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169} and that's the wrong APPID

 

[DelJo63]

It's the wrong APPID

Hi That's where it shows me to change permission. Here's screen shot from the link I'm using from W10 forum.
Sorry I'm so thick headed, but I'm following every step in this link. https://www.windows10forums.com/articles/event-id-10016-distributedcom.47/

 

[DelJo63]

Well, that does not apply to you!
Scroll to find {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97} and apply the fix there

 

[holdum323]

What is the right APPID? Thanks.

 

[DelJo63]

Shown directly above

That ID does not show. I'm running W10. Thanks for your help. You are appreciated. I'm trying very hard to solve this.

 

[DelJo63]

Hmm; my win/7 doesn't show it either :sigh: try to find C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239
(not on my win/7 either)

 

[holdum323]

C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239
Does not show up in APPID I think I have the right AP. It just isn't fixing the DCOM issue. I've wasted enough of your time. If You find out more, please post later. It's not the first time fixes from the W10 forum failed to work fpr me.
Thanks! You are very much appreciated. We have a good team on TS of about 5 that answers these threads on a regular basis.
You are always welcome on threads I'm helping on, and creating.(y)(y)
Sending you a PM

 

[DelJo63]

Most strange; the detail record info is gathered at the time the event is "cut", so the APPID
{316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97} must exist, at least on YOUR system.

 

[holdum323]

Hi I do not see that APPID. When I go through the entire W10 forum fix, the APPID shows the one I posted ({F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}) and that's the one I'm showing "Full Control" I have also changed that in the registry. I'm not afraid of the registry. I always create a back up before I make any changes in the registry. I have been in the registry many times. It does not scare me.

 

[holdum323]

Hi @jobeard You keep asking where I came up with the APPID. Here's where I found it. Thanks for helping. I think we can let this rest for now. You are appreciated.

 

[DelJo63]

I see WHY you used that value, but that's a website comment; the EventVwr Details are LIVE info on YOUR system.

Access the registry via Regedit instead of Component Service as that's a subset of all the Appid values.
