Hi, I read about the "DCOM Security Enhancements in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1". I have XP SP2. I had the following senario: - Created a simple COM server (exe). - Created a local user say user1 - Created a VB client which creates the COM Server object - When I run the VB client as user1 the application works. - Then using dcomcnfg i denied the local "Launch & Activation" permission to user1. Still on running the client as user1 it worked. I was expecting an "Access Denied" error" - Then i modified the "Default Permissions" to deny the same. In this case I got the permission denied error as expected. - I did not modify the newly introduced computer level permissions. Have i missed any steps? I wanted to deny the local "Launch & Activation" permission to a local user on a machine. TIA - Ajey
