Where is Component Services Application

[Will]

I have several errors complaining about a DCOM service not having
permissions to use local RPC (LRPC) on the computer with the test Vista
install. The message goes on to say that this can be corrected in the
Component Services application. Which application are they referring to,
and how do I open it?

You can get to component services by pressing WinKey-R then typing "mmc"
(w/o quotes), press enter then go File -> Add / Remove Snap-in, then select
Component Services from the list on the left, click add then click ok, and
then expand out Component Services then My Computer and you can fix your
problem from there.

I just tried opening this on a Windows 2003 box. Wow, there is a mind
boggling amount of detail, particularly under the DCOM configuration. I had
no idea that this much could be configured. How does one begin to debug
which settings are appropriate for a given application?

Actually, using quotes doesn't seem to matter.
