Local Security Policies
1. Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy2. Navigate to Security\Local Policies\Security Options a. Network Access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users - Set to Enabledc. DCOM: Machine Access Restrictions - Add Anonymous, Everyone, Interactive, Network, System with full rights options set.d. Network Access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users - Set to Enablede. Network Access: Sharing security model for local accounts - Set to Classic
The "Sharing Security model" is the real offending item I believe, and setting the above should fix the problem. If not then I went as far as setting the following in DCOMCNFG.
DCOM Configuration
1. Click Start -> Run2. Enter DCOMCNFG and press OK. This will open the DCOMCNFG window.3. Browse down the tree to Console Root -> Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer4. Right click on "My Computer" and select properties5. Select the "Default Properties" tab a. Enable Distributed COM on this computer - Option is checkedb. Default Authentication Level - Set to Connectc. Default Impersonation Level - Set to Identify6. Select the "COM Security" tab7. Click on Access Permissions ' Edit Defaulta. Add "Anonymous", "Everyone", "Interactive", "Network", "System" with Local and Remote access permissions set.8. Click on Launch and Activation Permissions ' Edit Defaulta. Add "Anonymous", "Everyone", "Interactive", "Network", "System" with Local and Remote access permissions set.9. Click on OK10. Close the DCOMCNFG window

I sent you more info. Your instructions Start->Control Panel->Admin. Tools were Ok
but there was no Local Security Policy to click on. I have not been able to access Network ACCESS . I was not able to follow step 2. there is evidently some incompatability between our computers. EWC
Go to start—>Run—>Type regedit click ok
Now you need to navigate the following key from left pane
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa
Create the following DWORD value (if it doesn’t exist):
LmCompatibilityLevel
and set it to:
0 – Clients use LM and NTLM authentication, but they never use NTLMv2 session security View Full Image . Domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.
1 – Clients use LM and NTLM authentication, and they use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.
2 – Clients use only NTLM authentication, and they use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controller accepts LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.
3 – Clients use only NTLMv2 authentication, and they use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.
4 – Clients use only NTLMv2 authentication, and they use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controller refuses LM authentication responses, but it accepts NTLM and NTLMv2.
5 – Clients use only NTLMv2 authentication, and they use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controller refuses LM and NTLM authentication responses, but it accepts NTLMv2.
I was unable to enter your instructions into my computer. START ok but Run no
more incompatability. There appears to be no solution so $18 will remain in my account. Sorry you couldn't help me. EWC
