Hi,

I have installed XP SP2 on several machines in our office. Two of the
machines are members of a Windows 2000 domain while the others are members
of a Win NT 4 domain. On the two machines on the Windows 2000 domain I am
now seeing the follow error message in the event log::
The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal
processing. HRESULT was 80070005 from line 44 of
d:\qxp_slp\com\com1x\src\events\tier1\eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact
Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error.

Since this error message has started to appear the computers are having
various problems including the Windows Installer not functioning, the
Windows Update not functioning. On one of the machines our payroll software
stopped functioning and I had to remove the service pack to make the payroll
software work again.

I have spoken with Microsoft tech support via chat and telephone many times
and they have no suggested that the issue related to the Windows 2000 Server
and Group Policy. Does anyone have any ideas on what Group Policy I need to
change to eliminate this error message and its associated symptoms?

Thanks,

Rich
 
Hi --

I looked at this KB article and added a missing registry entry but the
problem still exsists.. Any more thoughts?

I also tried the "netsh firewall reset", and get the following error:
WARNING: Could not obtain host information from machine: xxx Some commands
may not be available.
Access is denied
