Event log writes error related to application-specific permissions on Windows 10 computer

CDP Activity Store isn't listed as name but the AppID is.

Set it to view in detail and you'll find {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169} at the bottom. It listed as the 8th one from the end of the list.

AppID is the same as the CLSID in the regeditor

I don't know if fixes it or not but I'll find out later.

I don't know if it matters but I'll like to put things back the way it was.

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

{8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919} Original Owner is SYSTEM

 and APPID

{F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169} Original Owner is TrustedInstaller = NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller

 to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Same here, except mine is SEVENTH (7th) from the bottom of the list of DCOM applications, AND the AppID is identical to the Name in the first column.

I've logged quite a few of these "...application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable)..." Event ID 10016 DCOM errors recently, and there are scores of these entries without true (SID) names, but entries matching the AppID in the "Name" column of DCOM Config.

I plan to add the indicated lacking "Local Activation" permission to this one, but I have at least 5 more to go!  OF COURSE, Microsoft has never added a "Search" function to Component Services, so this ought to be a lot of fun!

For those not comfortable with the procedure of giving the needed (in this case, "Local Activation") permissions to users under DCOM Config, and how to enable Administrator access to the App security settings, here is a good summary by "amuzeini" as "Answer", on 12/18/2013, about the same issue in Windows 8 :

Same thing here. Greyed out. Windows 8.1 seems to fill the Event viewer with far more errors than previous versions.

edit: OK, found out why it was greyed out. There are 2 reg keys you have to set permissions to before you go to the DCOM Configuration in Component services. The CLSID key and the APPID key.

From another forum, although it applies to a different app, same principle:

1. Open Regedit.
2. Go to HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\*CLSID*.
Note: *CLSID* stand for the ID that appears in your event viewer error. In your case, it's {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}.
3. Right click on it then select permission.
4. Click Advance and change the owner to administrator. Also click the box that will appear below the owner line.
5. Apply full control.
6. Close the tab then go to HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Classes\AppID\*APPID*.
Note: *AppID* is the ID that appears in your event viewer. In your case it's {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}.
7. Right click on it then select permission.
8. Click Advance and change the owner to administrators.
9. Click the box that will appear below the owner line.
10. Click Apply and grant full control to Administrators.
11. Close all tabs and go to Administrative tool.
12. Open component services.
13. Click Computer, click my computer, then click DCOM.
14. Look for the corresponding service that appears on the error viewer.
15. Right click on it then click properties.
16. Click security tab then click Add User. Add SYSTEM then apply.
17. Tick the Activate local box.

So use the relevant keys here and the DCOM Config should give you access to the greyed out areas:

CLSID:

{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}

and APPID

{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}

It's tedious enough fixing permissions that should have been coded correctly to begin with, but when they start omitting the alphaneumeric name that at least makes finding the DCOM app easier, it progresses from tedium to torture!!!

Lol, the above instruction list looks so familiar, I think it is from the one I wrote on the Windows Eight forum, exactly 3 years ago to help someone else out. It is half way down the page, I am called "Sayjimwoo".

https://www.eightforums.com/performance-maintenance/11951-numerous-event-id-10016-errors-win-8-pro-64-bit-2.html

Anyway, regarding the below error -

CLSID

{8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919}

 and APPID

{F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}

This fix is even easier, you can completely ignore the CLSID and just gain permissions for the APPID, then go to Component Services and the DCOM Config list.

Then scroll all the way down to {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}

Add "SYSTEM" and tick 'Local Activation' and 'Local Launch'

This should clear this error.

Hi all

Thanks for your answers and efforts to help.

This problem started occuring to me 3/4 weeks ago.

I am playing (world of tank) and as the sessions are sometimes long, my computer crashes and reboots.

I changed the authorisations on CLSID but it solved nothing.

Considering the APPID, the computer, my computer, tells me that i do not have the rights to do it !!! So, all the authorisations i check are not validated.

I tried to find how i could add SYSTEM but i do not know where, and when i try to add it to the right window with ApplDflags, ... i do not have the rights.

Thx for help

I finally found a solution for this problem that worked for me.

Hi, I can do everything till this passage: 

8. Click Advance and change the owner to administrators.

I'm the administrator but the system says "access denied"... do I activate super admin?

Thanks

EDIT: even with Super Admin I've the same message.

Go to Component Services then DCOM CONFIG and scroll down to F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169 and click properties then security and customize. Then click edit. Click Add and type SYSTEM and tick all 4 "allow" boxes and click OK.

In the security section there are 3 categories => 

1. Launch and Activation Permissions

2. Access Permissions

3. Configuration Permissions

Which one of them should I perform the above procedure or all?

Thanks a lot.
