Settings for single DCOM instance for multiple users on same machine

Question

I have a DCOM registered on a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise machine. I would like to be able to initiate one instance of the DCOM and have it accessed by multiple users on that same machine, that is, users logged in to different Windows accounts.

What settings will achieve this? In the "identity" tab in the dcomconfg settings for my DCOM object, I have tried "the interactive user", "the launching user" and "this user", all three of which lead to the same result: a new DCOM instance is started on easch of the logged in client's Windows accounts, despite there being instances already running on other accounts. This especially baffles me with the third alternative, "this user", which should surely lead to all instances being started by that specific account? This is not the case. Any help would be much appreciated!

This question is outside the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure you get the best (and quickest) answer it should be asked either on Technet (for IT Pro's) or MSDN (for developers)
