Hi. I know this may have already been answered, but I find my problem a little different to all others. I have deployed SCCM 2007 client to a PC. The software installs fine, all advertisements work. However, I am now failing to receive an update under the Software Distribution in the Console Manager. Having checked the event log of the PC shows this error being repeated: The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {05D1D5D8-18D1-4B83-85ED-A0F99D53C885} to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool. I have checked the permission under DCOM for SMS Host Agent. All settings are the same as all other PC's that are working fine within the Active Directory. I have noticed that there is no CCM under DCOMcnfg when all other PC's do have this. Is this likely to be causing the problem? I can post logs if someone wouldn't mind helping me Thanks
