Client launching
Question:
What do I need to do to make my client launch and access my
server through DCOM?
Answer:
One setup that usually work is if you install Service Pack 3 on
all NT 4.0 machines. If you are going to use any Win95 clients
then you'll have to install DCOM for Win95 on those machines.
You'll also need Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 on the client
machines. On the machine were the application server is going to
run (an NT 4.0 machine) you'll do each of the following:
- Enable the Guest account. This is disabled by default.
- Make sure the application server is on a local drive on the
machine.
- Run the application server once to register it.
- In DCOM Config (dcomcnfg.exe) for the specific server object:
- On the Identity tab, select "The interactive user".
- On the Security tab, select Custom Access Permissions, and
make sure EveryOne is added and allowed access.
- On the Security tab, select Custom Launch Permissions, and
make sure EveryOne is added and allowed to launch.
