You must take the following actions to resolve the DCOM issue "1068" that occurs when trying to start the service netprofm on a server running Windows Server 2016:

1. Enter services.msc in the Start menu search box to display the Services window.
2. Find the Net Profiles Manager service by scrolling down.
3. Properties can be chosen by right-clicking the service.

6. Click OK to restart the service after ensuring that all dependencies are operational.
7. Try restarting the TCP/IP stack by entering netsh int ip reset in a Command Prompt window if the problem continues.
8. Try disabling the IPv6 protocol by executing netsh int ipv6 disable in a Command Prompt window if it doesn't fix the problem.
9. Try resetting the Winsock Catalog by using netsh winsock reset in a Command Prompt window if the problem still exists.
