first thanks for your response, I did just what you telling me I am going to HKCR\CLSID but hier I don't understand what do you mean with CLSID value</sample> , 1- when I click on CLSID I see a lot of values with for example {oooooo2F-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} and so on . 2-when I click on CLSID I see on the right pane 2 options 1-(DEfault) 2-CLBVersion. what do you mean exactly with CLSID value</sample> which of this 2 options above . can you please explain to me very shortly. johanh.david

Hi, Sorry, the cut and paste threw alot of junk in with it including </sample> which is code from the support page :) See the original article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899965 Apologies again! Martin If you find my information useful, please rate it. :-)

hello, OK now I understand that CLSID value is the value in the message of the event proprties with its APPId. but the problem is the CLSID value in the message which is in my case is {6DF8CB71-153B-4C66-8FC4-E59301B8011B} it does not exist in the regisry under the tree HKCR\CLSID. I tried also the find option in registry to find this value but it does not exist. do I have to create this value myself or any other suugestions! thanks johanh.david

Hi Johan, As an alternative to scanning your way through the registry, you can also use dcomcnfg.exe - just make sure you run it as an administrator. Below are the steps using Windows 7 as a reference. If you're dealing with XP or 2003 it will still be a similar process. Run dcomcnfg.exe as an administratorExpand Component Services/Computers/My Computer/DCOM ConfigYou should see quite a lot of DCOM registrations in the right-hand panelLook for either the APP ID or "SQL Server Distributed Replay Client" (based on your original post)Right-click on the entry and choose PropertiesSecurity tab -> Launch and Activation Edit buttonEnsure you (or whichever account) have local activation and launch rights You might also want to have a read of the below article if you are indeed dealing with the SQL Server Distributed Replay Client agent. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff878263.aspx Cheers, Lain

hello, I have done what you say but I don't see any specific APP ID or sql server distributed replay icon. but when I click on any icon on the right panel I see wel on its properties APP ID. do I have to look them one by one untill I find the app id of the message in event properties. or any other suggestions. thanks johanh.david

Hi Johan, Just as you can with files in Windows Explorer, you can change the view in dcomcnfg to the "Details" view, which will show you the Name and Application ID on the same page. Cheers, Lain
