Hi john_mm,
The Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is a protocol that enables software components to communicate directly over a network. Previously named "Network OLE," DCOM is designed for use across multiple network transports, including Internet protocols
such as HTTP. More information about DCOM, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc958799.aspx
Warning If you disable DCOM, may you may lose operating system functionality. After you disable support for DCOM, the following may result:
- Any COM objects that can be started remotely may not function correctly.
- The local COM+ snap-in will not be able to connect to remote servers to enumerate their COM+ catalog.
- Certificate auto-enrollment may not function correctly.
- Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) queries against remote servers may not function correctly.
For more details, you could refer to this link :
