	"plain_text": "Enable or Disable DCOM\r\nBy Archiveddocs\r\nArchived: 2026-04-05 15:43:57 UTC\r\nApplies To: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012\r\nIf the computer using Component Services is part of a network, Component Services needs the DCOM wire\r\nprotocol to communicate with Component Object Model (COM) components on other computers. In a Windows-based system, by default, network computers are initially configured to enable DCOM. You can disable DCOM,\r\nbut doing so disables communication with components on other computers.\r\nYou can use the following procedure to enable or disable DCOM.\r\nMembership in Administrators , or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.\r\nTo enable or disable DCOM\r\n1. Open Component Services.\r\n2. In the console tree, click the Computers folder, right-click the computer for which you want to enable or\r\ndisable DCOM, and then click Properties .\r\n3. Click the Default Properties tab.\r\n4. To enable DCOM, select the Enable Distributed COM on this computer check box. To disable DCOM,\r\nclear this check box.\r\n5. Click OK .\r\nAdditional considerations\r\nComponent Services is no longer in Administrative Tools. To open Component Services, click Start . In\r\nthe search box, type dcomcnfg , and then press ENTER .\r\nWhen you enable the DCOM service, you also have to configure the firewall on both the computer running\r\nthe component as well as the computer running Component Services. For details about configuring the\r\nfirewall for DCOM, see Using Distributed COM with Firewalls (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?\r\nLinkId=38001).\r\nIf you disable DCOM on a remote computer, you cannot remotely access that computer to enable DCOM\r\nagain. To enable DCOM again, you must have physical access to that computer.\r\nAdditional references\r\nhttps://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc771387.aspx\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\nConfigure the System for Component Services\r\nSource: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc771387.aspx\r\nhttps://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc771387.aspx\r\nPage 2 of 2",
