DCOM Event ID 10009

[intel233]

I am getting this in my event viewer. After looking up the cause I am not sure where to look now. The client machines are alive because I can ping them and get a response. Firewalls are turned off via GPO and that was verified by the IT guys in that location.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Is there a particular service that needs to be running?

Did you lookup the error at Eventid.net. There are multiple solutions avail for you to try

Honestly, this is the error that I started ignoring, since I saw it everywhere, on nearly every SBS server, and it didn't seem to indicate a real problem to solve. No actual symptoms that I could identify.

Ok thanks. Is there any security concerns with having DCOM enabled? I am mostly running Win 7 and Windows XP.

I think you want it enabled, I just think that you should ignore the errors.

I like the event viewer in Windows 2008/2012, which lets you easily filter out messages that you don't want to see.
