Hi together,

I'm managing a Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. The only additionally installed software is Office 2013.

The DCOM identity for Microsoft Excel is set to a specific user, every time I open Microsoft Excel the error "Cannot use object linking and embedding" occurs.

I tried all suggested solutions, like DCOM config, virus check, folder and file permissions, Excel configuration like DDE, etc.

Does anyone have another idea of how to solve this problem?
