DCOM exception for monitoringhost process

  • Article

Hi all,

the last couple of weeks were very busy with getting ready for TechReady and high incoming volume.

There is this very interesting issue with creating a custom Management Pack which created an object inside the monitoringhost process-> New-Object -ComObject ComObjectWished

If you get the error Error Message is: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {CLSID_OF_THE_APP} failed due to the following error: 80070005.

Now 80070005 is an access denied error, but confusingly all the rights are actually given on the agent. Also running the script manually, so not from a monitoringhost instance works!

This is a DCOM issue, which can be overcome with the AppID. Just create a CLSID in DCOM with an AppID where you then create RunAs = "Interactive User".

This configures a class to run under a specific user account when activated by a remote client without being written as a service application, which then solved the permission issues.
