Event 10009 DCOM?

[James Davie]

We have Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 on our server and
workstations. Whenever a workstation is shut off in our
network, the server's event log fills up with Event ID
10009 Source DCOM. The description is "DCOM was unable to
communicate with the computer <COMPUTER NAME> using any of
the configured protocols." What would cause this to happen
and how can I fix it?

I don't know offhand, but see the link below at http://eventid.net which is a great
place to lookup event id's. See the KB referrals in the links section.

I've already checked that site. None of that stuff helped.
Does anyone else have any input?

Thank you Boudewijn. I had event 10009 in the event log and had no idea
why. Now I know! It was a result of using Exchange message tracking -
as you say, it trys to track the message to the remote SMTP server at
the recipeint's mail server and can't. I'll just relax and ignore the
event from now on!
