Setting Default COM Security on Windows XP and
Windows Server 2003
Note: This topic does not apply to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later. See Configuring DCOM on Windows XP
Service Pack 2.
Default COM security affects all COM applications that do not have launch permissions of their own.
• If authentication is used, client machines that receive events from a DCOM server must include "Everyone" in
the default access permissions.
• If authentication is not used, client machines must specify "None" in the default access permissions.
To set default COM security:
1. From the Windows taskbar, click Start Run.
2. Type dcomcnfg and click OK. The Component Services window appears.
3. Expand the Component Services folder and expand the Computers folder. Right−click the My Computer
folder and select Properties.
4. Select the Default COM Security tab.
