Hey there!

We get the error on Windows server 2016. We have removed that server from our environment and we do not need it anymore.

It is also removed from Server Manager all servers section; however, the error still occurs.

Because the computer does not exist on the network any more, how to stop the DCOM from looking for it?

    Hi there!

    Thank you for your response.

    1, 3. There is no record about the PID 4190
