We recently installed Team Foundation Server at a client, the installation went smoothly. We did however experience a problem with regards to DCOM errors.
Event log entry information:
Source:
DCOM
Event ID:
10016
User:
domain\tfsservice
Description:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with
CLSID {61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1}
to the user domain\tfsservice SID (...). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
We searched and found the following post by Nicolas Müggler
The cause of the problem Nicolas explain to be:
"This happens after installing SharePoint Services 3.0. The CLSID is used by the service "IIS WAMREG admin Service" and the tfsservice Account needs to have the local activation right on this service."
Followed the instructions step by step which resolved our problems, beow is the solution to the problem:
Solution:
- Open "Administrative Tools" > "Component Services"
- Expand nodes "Computers" > "My Computer" > "DCOM Config"
- Locate entry "IIS WAMREG admin Service"
- Right click > Properties
- Tab "Security" > "Launch and Activation Permissions" > "Edit..." Button
- Add tfsservice Account if not already present and grant permissions "Local Launch" and "Local Activation"
