Error - DistributedCOM

Question

In our environment we have a VMware® vSphere server with a Windows Server 2016 Standard server VM that we use for other Domain Users to access an application remotely. This error has been happening for a while, the VM freezes and no one can access it anymore, to get back it is necessary to restart. I need help, I've already done several procedures but the problem persists. Sometimes it takes more than 10 days for it to happen again. ERROR

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919} and APPID {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169} to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Hello, As indicated in the error message, the error is triggered when certain processes/application don’t have access to the DCOM components. Therefore, in this step, it will be granting access to those DCOM components. For that: Press “Windows” + “R” keys to open the Run prompt. Type in “Regedit” and press “Enter”. Navigate to the following address. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919} Double click on the “Default” key in the right pane and note down the “Value Data” listed. Navigate to the following address: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID{F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169} Right-click on the “{F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}” key in the left pane. Click on the “Permissions” option from the list and select “Advanced“. Click on the “Change” option next to the “Owner” heading.
