DCOM 10016 Errors with SharePoint 2007 and Windows Server 2008 R2

Submitted by justin on Mon, 02/15/2010 - 12:25

It seems that by default SharePoint 2007 has some DCOM/IIS related issues on Windows Server 2008 R2.  I've run into this error multiple times on multiple servers:

EVENT ID: 10016
SOURCE: DistributedCOM
LEVEL: ERROR
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

How to uninstall SQL Server Embedded Edition (Windows Internal Database)

Submitted by justin on Sun, 01/18/2009 - 16:50

Certain Windows services, such as SharePoint Services, install SQL Server Embedded Edition by default as their database. This is the new name for the Windows Internal Database. Unfortunately they don't always uninstall it afterwards.

To remove the 32-bit (x86) version:
msiexec /x {CEB5780F-1A70-44A9-850F-DE6C4F6AA8FB} callerid=ocsetup.exe

To remove the 64-bit (x64) version:
msiexec /x {BDD79957-5801-4A2D-B09E-852E7FA64D01} callerid=ocsetup.exe
