11.2.2 Microsoft Windows DCOM server security changes

Microsoft is making changes to DCOM security over the course of releases in 2021 to 2023. See article KB5004442 on the Microsoft support site for details. These changes affect your Windows DCOM Server Security configuration, including future updates.

There is no overall change to recommended MyID configuration required, but some customers have been affected where alternative configurations have been used. You are recommended to follow the instructions in the MSDTC security configuration section of the Installation and Configuration Guide carefully, and to use the System Interrogation Utility to check that your system is configured correctly (SIU tests SIU-083, SIU-084, and SIU-218).

If you experience any problems after installing Windows updates that relate to DCOM server security, contact Intercede customer support, quoting reference SUP-354.
