A.3. DCOM Configuration for Host Controller

To configure DCOM on the Host Controller, you run a DCOM configuration utility called dcomcnfg. On
Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0, DCOM and the dcomcnfg are bundled into the operating systems.
On Windows 98, DCOM is not bundled into the operating system. You must first install DCOM before
you can use dcomcnfg to configure the Analyzer for remote use.

When dcomcnfg is run, it presents a list of installed applications that support DCOM. To configure an
application for DCOM, select an application from the list, then apply security and launch settings.

This appendix describes the process for configuring security and launch settings to the Analyzer for
Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 systems. If you are using Windows 98, you must first install DCOM
before you can use dcomcnfg. The screens for Windows 98 are a little different from what you see in
this appendix.

Summary of DCOM Server Configuration Steps

DCOM server configuration for the Host Controller involves three steps:

1. Configure DCOM Authentication to Default.

2. Configure DCOM launch permissions to Everyone.

3. Configure Run Identity with your login name.

Configuring When and How Authentication Should Occur

The dcomcnfg utility presents a number of security options. In the steps that follow, configure the
Analyzer application on the Host Controller to authenticate the user when the user first attempts a
connection.

1. Click the Windows Start button.

2. Select Run ...

The Run dialog appears.

3. In the Open edit box within the Run dialog, type dcomcnfg.
