DMan65 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Hello Everyone, I have some systems that are based on NT 4.0 that have to remain on NT 4.0 because they have hardware that only has drivers for NT. I am in the process of attempting to add a new application server that used a solid state "hard drive" which requires drivers for 64-bit Windows. This required Server 2008 64-bit. Having setup the 64bit Server 2008 computer, I am attempting to setup ActiveX exe components that we use in our systems. If I connect to Server 2008 from a Windows XP or Windows 2000 client, I can attach to a network share and create and use DCOM components without an issue. If I connect to Server 2008 from a Windows NT (SP6a) client, I can attach to a network share without an issue. However if I attempt to create a DCOM object on the Server 2008 machine from Windows NT 4.0, the Server 2008 experiences an RPC error and then reboots. If it matters, I have tried this with the firewall turned totally off and I have tried it with the firewall on and the only exceptions being Core Networking File and Print Sharing Remote Desktop srvrQueryArray (The object I am testing to create) The results are the same either way. I have reformatted and reinstalled Server 2008 since making this discovery and the results are the same with every installation. I have tested all of the involved machines for viruses and none are present. The errors reported by the server are: From the Application Events: Log Name: Application Source: Application Error Date: 3/19/2009 7:51:06 AM Event ID: 1000 Task Category: (100) Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: DB1 Description: Faulting application svchost.exe_RpcSs, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47919291, faulting module rpcss.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x4791ada0, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00000000000614be, process id 0x368, application start time 0x01c9a888c66d5a66.

DMan65 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks for the reply. I hate to be dense, but when I search for dcom I only see 4 posts including this one and none of them seem to address the issue I am having. Do you have a link to the thread by any chance? Thanks, Darrell Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted March 20, 2009 FPCH Admin Posted March 20, 2009 I beleive this is the thread. http://freepchelp.forum/f9/com-problem-in-ws2008-263.html Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
DMan65 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks for the link. I did see that, but it appears to be a different issue. I can create the object on WS 2008 without any difficulty if I call from Windows 2000 or Windows XP. But trying to create a DCOM object from Windows NT results in the RPC service crashing on 2008 and the computer rebooting. It looks like I am going to end up "downgrading" to 2003. Quote
