How do I restore default DCOM Permissions?
In Windows Server 2003 SP2, I have removed all users (Anonymous Users, Authenticated Users, Everyone etc) under Component Services > Computers > My Computer > Properties > COM Security > Edit Limits.
After that, I couldn't access the server via remote desktop and terminal services fails. I can still access it via VNC but when I attempt to open Component Services > Computers, the window stops responding.
Is there any way that I can restore COM permissions to their default settings at least? Or is there a way to enable access to the properties window so I can set it myself?
Thank you for your help.
