Access to security settings under dcomcnfg in Win7 - Event ID 10016
Using Windows 7 RTM via TechNet. I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to correct a persistent Event ID 10016 error that keeps showing up in Event Viewer. I've actually found a couple of guides on how to fix this...change the launch permissions for the app that's causing the problem (IPbusEnum) but when I try to change the launch permissions using dcomcnfg none of the options on the properties/securities tab are available (grayed out). My user has administrator permissions, I've tried launching dcomcnfg.exe by right click/click on "run as administrator" but no go. Can anyone give me the right magic spell to allow me to edit the launch permissions?

Hi, the issue may occur if the permission setting is incorrect. Follow the steps below to change the related settings in Computer Management. 1. Right click "Computer", Click "Manage". 2. Under the "System Tools" section, double click "Local Users and Groups", click "Groups", right click "Administrators". 3. Click "Add to group...", click "Add", click "Advanced", click "Find Now". 4. Double click "Local Service", click "Ok". 5. "NT Authority\Local Service" should show up in the list now. Click "Ok" 6. Close Computer Management and reboot. After that, try to change the settings in Component Services. Cecilia Zhou
