Mass quantities of DCOM errors

[JBruyet]

Hey all, my event log is filling up with the following errors:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10009
Date: 4/2/2009
Time: 3:28:17 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: MineMineMine
Description:
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer X.X.X.X using any of the configured protocols.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

I have a couple of network management programs installed and I was wondering if there is a way to figure out which one is having the problem? At least I'm pretty sure it's one of those programs.

Thanks,

Joe B

Do you remember if this started happening around the same time you installed the programs?

You could uninstall/reinstall them one at a time to see if that is causing the problem.

I guess you already know the solution and it is hopefully just a question of the elimination of the errant program.

Bummer. I was hoping that there would be a way to figure out which program is not cooperating without going the uninstall/reinstall route. Unfortunately I haven't installed anything lately so I'm not sure where to start. I guess I should just pick a spot, start there, see what happens and then move on.

Thanks,

within the error should be a long set of numbers in {} serach the registry for this code and it will show you the app that is having issues.

Wow, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. I'll try it out this afternoon!

Thanks,
