do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application

  • Article

Hi,

I though that it would be useful to include this as this has appeared many times:

If you receive this message: 

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 XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.  This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

When you search for the GUID, you will find that it relates to IIS WAMREG admin Service, so you should open Component Services console (comexp.msc / dcomcnfg), and browse to:

Component Services->Computers->My Computer->DCOM Config

And review Security configuration for your account at Launch and Activate.

You can check the process at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/920783/en-us too

The point here is that you may find the same error with different GUIDs, as for example oSearch DCOM Configuration, so you should do the same thing.

 Cheers!
