Lately I get this system error a lot now that I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro is a DistributedCom Event ID 10016. Below is the error text:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}

and APPID

{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}

to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Anybody have any idea why I'm getting this error?

Same thing here. Greyed out. Windows 8.1 seems to fill the Event viewer with far more errors than previous versions.

edit: OK, found out why it was greyed out. There are 2 reg keys you have to set permissions to before you go to the DCOM Configuration in Component services. The CLSID key and the APPID key.

From another forum, although it applies to a different app, same principle:

*1. Open Regedit.2. Go to HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\*CLSID*.Note: *CLSID* stand for the ID that appears in your event viewer error. In your case, it's {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}.3. Right click on it then select permission.4. Click Advance and change the owner to administrators. Also click the box that will appear below the owner line.5. Apply full control.6. Close the tab then go to HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Classes\AppID\*APPID*.Note: *AppID* is the ID that appears in your event viewer. In your case it's {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}.7. Right click on it then select permission.8. Click Advance and change the owner to administrators.9. Click the box that will appear below the owner line.10. Click Apply and grant full control to Administrators.11. Close all tabs and go to Administrative tool.12. Open component services.13. Click Computer, click my computer, then click DCOM.14. Look for the corresponding service that appears on the error viewer.15. Right click on it then click properties.16. Click security tab then click Add User. Add SYSTEM then apply.17. Tick the Activate local box.So use the relevant keys here and the DCOM Config should give you access to the greyed out areas:*CLSID:

{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}

and APPID

{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}

    I am only able to unlock it half-way, when I get to the add user part (last step) that is still grayed out.  Windows 10 upgraded from 7 x64. I also get "One or more of the permission entries attached to the Registry Value has an unrecognized or application-specific (callback) type and can not be displayed." It then asks if I should remove them, just want to confirm I should NOT.  Also, any ideas on how to unlock that final dialog to "Add..." the SYSTEM.

    For the people that try this, but keep getting "Access is Denied" errors when applying full control.

    Make sure you use Administrators when changing the owner. With the S at the end. Both times. Forgetting this made me waste a lot of time.

    Still Working on 10016, but now is Windows 10  - 1709. The following may be the only worthwhile info offered herein...

    Event ID: 10016

    Source: DCOM

    Message:

    The %1 permission settings do not grant %2 %3 permission for the COM Server application with CLSID %4 to the user %5%6 SID (%7). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

     TRANSLATION: %1 = machine-default; application-specific; %2 = local, remote;

    %3 = Launch Application(s): %4 = ; User affected: %5 =; %6 = .
