    Hello

    The DCOM Server error you’re experiencing is a common issue in Windows Server 2016. This error occurs when Microsoft components try to access DCOM components without the required permissions.

    Here’s what’s happening: A coding pattern has been implemented where the code first tries to access the DCOM components with one set of parameters. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, it tries again with another set of parameters. The reason why it does not skip the first attempt is because there are scenarios where it can succeed. In those scenarios, that is preferable.

    As for the solution, these events can be safely ignored because they do not adversely affect functionality and are by design. This is the recommended action for these events.

    However, if you’re still experiencing issues with your server freezing, it might be worth looking into other potential causes. It’s also recommended to keep your server updated with the latest security updates.
