DCOM event 10016 cannot change permissions in Component services

I wrote about this event before here: dcom-event-10016 but this time it was bit different.
Even though I was changing the permission for the object in Component services the permissions were reverting back after couple minutes to what they were and it was resulting that the event 10016 was generated again. Apparently after applying some MS update the permissions on some Windows sub folder are changed. Specifically the permissions were changed on ‘%windir%/registration‘ folder(usually c:windowsregistration). Check the permissions of this folder and make sure that System user has full rights after that try changing the permissions on the object in Component services and see if it stays this time.

DCOM Event 10016

Here is one of the Event errors that I’ve got on one of the SCCM servers.
Source: DCOM
Type: Error
Event ID: 10016

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{A8889E84-14D9-43D0-813A-249BFFE193C2}
to the user domainuseraccount (S-1-5-21-1957994488-1004336348-839522115-9143).  This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Optiwhite Glass aquarium in Ireland

Just stumbled on a website with fancy name Aqua Art that offers Optiwhite aquariums in Ireland.
You can choose from different options they can make all tank of Optiwhite or they can make a tank that has only front Optiwhite glass.
For those of you who don’t know what Optiwhite is:
Optiwhite is special type of glass that does not have a green color tint.
So it is good that we have someone offering Optiwhite tanks but the problem I have is the price of the tanks and other goods on that website. It would be cheaper to buy a tank in UK and get it delivered to Ireland.
Also for TetraTec 1200 filter they are charging 230 Euro. When I bought mine 3 years ago I’ve paid 100 Euro and that was when nobody knew about recession.
For Eheim Classic 2260 they want 399 Euro. When on Zooplus you can get it for 259.95 Euro.
Oh well … looks like some companies have not noticed any recession.

Hardware Reserved Memory in Windows 7 Part2 for 32Bit

I’ve found this interesting article about how to make Windows 7 32bit to use as much ram as possible. Even when you have over 4GB.
I’ve tried it on one of the test laptops and it worked. It have not crashed on me but I cannot tell you how stable it is as it is a test laptop. Performance wise it seems to perform more or less  the same but I’ve noticed that the hard drive is used less as the files are cached in RAM. So in theory laptop should be faster.
Use it at your own risk: Windows 7 32-bit with full 4 GB or 8 GB RAM support
