Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to DCOM error.

Please find the entire id including the { } and Start a search from it in the registry. This will tell you what program is causing the problem.

Go to Control Panel -> Open Component services from Administrative Tools and expand the tree to open DCOM Config.

Please Check the properties of the program you have found in the registry. On the Identity tab check the 'launching user' apply and then check your event log.
