DCOM Error Messages & How to Fix the Issue

This issue occurs because the Microsoft Search (MSSearch) service starts before the Web Storage System starts, and the Microsoft Search service tries to automatically start the Web Storage System by using distributed COM (DCOM). The Web Storage System is secured to prevent programs from starting the Web Storage System with DCOM; therefore, an error is recorded when the Microsoft Search service tries to do so.

The Web Storage System does not allow programs to automatically start the Web Storage System, to prevent it from being started without the server operator's knowledge when the server operator has stopped it for maintenance or other reasons.

IMPORTANT: Do not change your DCOM settings to allow programs to automatically start the Web Storage System.

Microsoft uses the Distributed Component Object Model as a method to allow client-side (or local) applications to transmit and request data on a server. It is an integrated part of Windows, and is used by most Windows applications that connect to a network, including the Internet. It's used to perform silent authentications (sending login credentials with cached information) and to get live data updates for things like stock tickers and push notifications on applications. A large number of DCOM errors are the result of out-of-date login credentials, which return a "connection timed out" error message -- or, if no error message shows up, a browser or other networked application giving an "unable to load content" message.

Fix the DCOM Instruction:

    a) Log in to your computer with an administrator-level account.

    b) Open the Start screen, click the "Apps" icon and then enter "Component Services" into the search box. Press "Enter." Windows will start the Component Services Snap-In application, which is part of the Microsoft Management Console framework. The application will have a pane of options on the left-hand side.

   c) Double-click "Component Services," then navigate to "Computers," then "My Computer," then "DCOM Config" and finally "Microsoft Windows Remote Shell Host." Right-click "Microsoft Windows Remote Shell Host" and select "Properties" from the context-menu. A window will appear.

    d) Click the check box next to "Enable Distributed COM on this computer." Turn them off, click "OK" and turn them back on again, clicking "OK" a second time.

    e) Check to see if this has resolved your issue. If it hasn't, there is a chance that the DCOM problem will resolve itself with a full system reboot after this procedure.

How to Fix a DCOM Error

DCOM has matured to the point where many errors are now server-side rather than local.
