DCOM & Scripting (vbscript, WMI, etc.)

[Guest]

Is there scripting methods available to configure COM Security?
We need to apply defaults & limits to Access Permissions and Launch and
Activation Permissions without having our users go through running dcomcnfg.

Hi vhartline,

Looks like it's not possible using WMI.

Can you tell me if this can be done with VB 6?
