We are getting DCOM errors on a Windows 2000 server. This started after
alot of software was installed and removed. The strange thing is that
the DCOM GUID is not in the registry or on the filesystem. Is there a
way to delete a DCOM server entry to prevent it from loading?

Thanks,


ChrisW

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10005
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Description:
DCOM got error "The service did not respond to the start or control
request in a timely fashion. " attempting to start the service
EventSystem with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{1BE1F766-5536-11D1-B726-00C04FB926AF}
 
It's COM+ Event System, maybe the service is disabled? You could
disable it (DCOM Server) in dcomcnfg but I would only do that as a last
resort.
