Description

If the Windows Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) facility is enabled on this machine and you intend to enable the iProcess Objects Server during the installation (see Select Components To Configure for detailed information), you must ensure that the IPEADMIN user has DCOM Access Permissions and Launch Permissions.

Note 

If you have chosen to use separate accounts for the IPEADMIN and IPESERVICE users, you must give the IPESERVICE user the same DCOM permissions as the IPEADMIN user.

You may have DCOM enabled without explicitly setting it up. For example, Microsoft Web Server enables it as part of its setup.

Procedure

To set up DCOM permissions, complete the following steps:

1. Log in to Windows as an administrator user.
2. Run dcomcnfg in the command-line window. The Component Services window appears.
3. Double-click the Computers icon to locate the My Computer icon.
4. Right-click the My Computer icon and select Properties from the pop-up menu. The My Computer Properties dialog box appears.
5. Click the Default Properties tab.
If the Enable Distributed COM On This Computer check box is checked, you must set the necessary permissions for the IPEADMIN user. See your operating system documentation for detailed information.
If the Enable Distributed COM On This Computer check box is unchecked, DCOM is not enabled and you can proceed with other pre-installation tasks.
6. If you have chosen to use separate accounts for the IPEADMIN and IPESERVICE users, repeat the above procedure for the IPESERVICE user.
