Event ID: 10009 – DCOM unable to communicate

Was working through some issues on a Production server when i noticed a lot of errors surronding DCOM unable to communicate with another server. The other server was responsive, but for some reason the server wasnt having a bar of it.

Event ID: 10009 – DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer <ComputerName> using any of the configured protocols.

To stop these messages from cluttering Event Viewer, performing the following steps:

  1. Go to Regedit on the server where the errors are popping up;
  2. Navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ole
  3. Create a new Registry Key called ActivationFailureLoggingLevel and set the value as 2.

DCOMError#1
